HELP!!! I just bought a beautiful 2010 IS350, and I am excited to start customizing. I am going for performance first, both speed and handling, and then looks. In your experienced opinions, what should be the first few things I do?

Thanks.

Well maintenance first, but aside from that it depends on you. Speed - you can get all the bolt ons - PPE Headers, a midpipe of your choice and a exhaust of your choice, and an F Sport intake - then get a tune from OV Tuning. Handling - coilovers, F Sport Sway Bars/Sikky/Megan/etc, RR Racing USRS Lower Control Arm Bushing, F sport chassis brace among many other braces from Toms etc. Almost forgot, get the stickiest tires you can afford.

You should take a look at the build section, particularly RedSpencer's track build. It'll give you a good idea of where to start.

Thanks. I've been dreaming in the build section, but most of it is greek to me.

If you want to maximize power for money...

Before any of this, I suggest driving the car and then decide what you want to add. You might not like the extra stiffness from strut bars or maybe you do.

Headers + full bolt on exhaust and then a tune. Skip intake because it doesn't add any horsepower.

Suspension: coils, sway bars. Strut bars. Stronger bushings.

Then when you go even more: aerodynamics, downforce or bigger brakes if you're running over 400hp.



there are endless ways to build and never ending. Good luck and have fun
