for now it would be drag, maybe within a year or so I'm gonna start doing track since I'm still on stock suspension. so I do think LSD will be more helpful.

For drag LSD all the way.

I am in a similar situation but I don't drag, I do Auto-X and I am leaning closer to an LSD just because of how much it hurts me when I am racing. For now I am good with the 08 OEM brakes unless a great deal comes along.

If your planning drag right now, definitely LSD.

LSD will help you with everyday driving now and track later. Big brake kit will only be useful for track later.

Since Wilwood doesn't offer a four pot front kit I might choose the lsd also.

You can find the occasional set of custom caliper brackets and pick up a pair of 4 pot calipers from Jegs and throw on some OEM brembo rotors.

Get the LSD bro, especially if your drag racing, it will help with traction and keep your rear wheels from spinning when you launch, it will also help you with traction on turns on the track

Thumbs up
Seems an open-ended question.
Buy for what you need - if you need upgraded brakes then get them.
If racing warrants a Quaife Diff then you'll know not to compromise on brakes.
In which case budget shouldn't be a concern and you'd get both options without second thought.
