I'd say the brakes but that depends on what/where you ride.
My brother has the '18 Remedy 8 and he switched over to the carbon frame which can be found quite cheap now (think he paid £1k brand new where RRP was something crazy like £3200), made a huge difference to how it rides.

I had this bike. Here is what I would recommend in order of priority.

1) Upgrade hub engagement (Cheap)
2) Upgrade Brakes
3) Upgrade Saddle
4) Upgrade wheels (expensive)

Brakes are the weakest part of the build, I'd upgrade those first.
