Any update on the 2012 lfx performance Mods?
Last I checked the most you could do was a cat back exhaust, intake and some other small upgrades. Any word on an upgrades available?

For those that have the 20" RS wheels----ditch them ASAP. Get lighter wheels/tire combo. Will make big difference in handling and acceleration

Stock RS wheels are 31lbs, and for our V6 cars it REALLY hurts handling and acceleration. getting aftermarket lighter weight wheels, even staying in 20", such as TSW or ForgeStar, you can get TSW 20x9 Nurburings that weigh only 22lbs! This is a 9lb difference per wheel, and 36lb total. Multiply this by the rotational mass factor of 6, and it's like dropping a whopping 216lbs  Imagine what this does to your 0-60times, cornering speed, and handling! It makes a big difference. For even better gains, go 18" wheels and drop car 1" w/ drop springs. Plenty of really nice 18" wheels in the 19-20lb range

Intake, scoop, ported throttle body, high flow cats, and cat back exhaust are pretty much all of the bolt on power upgrades available. From there you can gain a lot with suspension/chassis upgrades.
