New WRX guy, have questions

[SpennyMoonWRX]

Car : 2008 Subaru WRX Sedan
Bought : 19 November 2010
Location : Southern California

So I'm already loving my WRX. From looks to performance, I'm wowed all around.

I want to start throwing in some quick mods right away, and I'm looking for some suggestions, so far here's what I'm doing.

COBB Sport Spings
Perrin Cold Air Intake

Also, whats the bolt pattern for the 08 suabru, what offset should I get? What size tires are reccommended?

Any other things you guys think a new guy should know, please comment.

Thanks

Springs and shocks are a good first start, I'd put sway bars and endlinks ahead of the intake. The intake won't net you any gains, and is for sounds/looks only, until you start maxing out the stock intake a few turbo upgrades down the road.
