Opinion
If you are gonna be seeing dirt roads I would stay with the factory 16" wheels. Better ride and less likley to tear them up.
I would be looking at the Cobb Stage II engine package ( http://cobbtuning.com/wrx/power-s.html#Stage2 ) and than suspension
Rear strut brace
Lower Front brace
Coilovers and shocks

I was looking at that. Would it be better to get that or get an Access Port and then an APS exhaust. I seems like alot of people like the APS 3" TBE.

and you can save yourself some money and get an up pipe too

I'm a software engineer, not married, no kids.
Once I get married and have kids Ill drop it back some percentage. But the sooner you start and the more you start with, the more you make off of interest in the long run.
oh, and my company pays for me to be here in California and my rent back in NM is $250/month.
