2015 Corolla s plus. Top five best performance upgrades???

Problem with those 5 you listed is they require even more than just those.
Brakes, tune, a transmission that can handle the torque, and the worst problem of all, this needs to be RWD and not FWD.
My list for this car would probably just be one thing:
1.) Tune
Unless you want to get serious with modding this thing from a performance standpoint, you would need to do an engine swap.
What to get:
1) Improve your Driving Skills(It's 90% driver and 10% car)
2) Built 2ZR or engine swap(cams, tune, etc.)
3) Transmission upgrades(short shifter, LSD, etc.)
4) Suspension Upgrades(coilovers, strut bars, etc.)
5) Weight Loss(Replace with carbon fiber parts)
What to stay away from:
1) Rice stickers(Flame stickers, Chevy badge on your car...)
2) Being a showoff(Don't be a stupid child while driving)
3) Fartcans(Install a proper exhaust system and not a food can)
4) Big Spoilers(Your driving a FWD car, not a Plane)
5) Trying to "fit in"(Mod your car however you like, it's your car, not ours)
Even though most people say that they are just Corolla's think that they are not worth modding, you can do anything with time, money, and attitiude. If you want to mod, I would say start small like lowered springs, intake, etc. and work your way up and see how each mod affects the car. This is how you learn and this is how you have fun in life.

They are correct when talking about balance, but that really applies when you regularly take the car to 10/10 to 11/10ths of its limit. The reality is that the severe forward weight bias does not put much stress on the rear, especially with the weight transfer that takes place under hard braking. The biggest benefit could be less fade from the rear with discs due to better heat dissipation. I do not know about the Corolla, but doing a disc brake conversion could be prohibitively expensive as well. The Corolla is also more or less designed to be reliable, economical, and efficient transportation and not a canyon carver. It all boils down to your passion and the size of your wallet with what can be accomplished.
This is exactly what I mean when I wrote this above:

Yeah...get an R34...good luck getting it legal here considering the only company that can make the final piece to make it legal are pieces of shit found on the devils crusty asshole. The company wants $10K for an airbag that would make the car legal and they horde the IP to themselves. You can get it into america by using the 25 year rule. So far, I have already seen 2 1989 R32's here in Florida since April.
For a tune, ask these long time Corolla fans about who is reputable. Reputation is critical just as if you were looking for a neurosurgeon to mess with your brain. A bad tune can be very bad.
Rather than import engines, a better route may be forced induction depending on how well built the power train and drive trains are. The problem will likely be whether the CVT can handle it or not.

I believe he is talking about a Turbo for your engine. I am not sure that the CVT transmission can handle it.
I haven't done a lot to my 2014 S, but what I have done has made some difference.
I have added a K&N Short Ram intake, and I found a performance module that actually works. My throttle response in a lot Bette, and fuel economy has improved as well. When I put it in sport mode it moves pretty quick.
