Performance mods....
Guys,
Newbie here. recently picked up a 2012 IS350C with 10k miles. Coming out of a BMW 135i that was modded.
What do you guys recommend I do? Any one done either a turbo or SC?
How about suspension, handling and exhaust?

Welcome to CL and for performance mod this ain't the car if your coming from turbo bmw. Basic bolt on apply to these cars. You can run a custom SC but it cost you 5k and there no tune just bolt on. Your can start with suspension most go coilover and f sport sway bar are you bang for you buck feel.

You wouldnt get much out of a tune even if it were available for USDM cars. Look at the JDM cars that are tuned. They gain what, ~30whp? You still couldnt boost more; High compression engines and no aftermarket support for changing that. Even HKS350 with his piggy back to tune was only able to go up a whole 1psi extra.
OP. Stick to bolt ons unless you'll have the car for a long time. If you'll have it a while...sure, boost it.

Great info thanks. I believe I will go with f-sport as much as possible. Except for wheels. I have seen some nice aftermarket like vossen and stance.

Mods on a budget... not bad! Have a look.
Have a look at my AWD IS250 build thread with all the mods listed... These were kind of "mods on a budget", but it goes to show you what can be done on your IS with relatively small coin!
