You might want to buy a filter cleaning kit of some sort, and clean out the air filter on the intake around 15k miles. As for the other parts, there's not much you can do, just use them until they need replaced.

Yea, everything you have except the air filter is non maintenenceable to my knowledge. Should be good. I assume our filters from RRM are just like K&N filters, clean and spray with oil. I had planned to call them and ask when I was ready, but if you find out, Post it! Save us the trouble.
nothing more than the usual stuff on a car.
Check to make sure the filter is clean. If not then clean it.
Springs, just be aware of your struts, any lowering springs shorten the life of your struts so keep an eye on them, and if you notice any change in the ride they might need replacing.
I would however recommend checking the pulley. I believe a handful of people have had problems with the bearings or something, and oil leaks out. That might be something you just wanna stick your head under the car and take a look at every now and again. Probably when you do oil changes

How long do struts usually last if springs were stock? When they break, what are the chances I might get into an accident right away?
And.. how do I clean those air cones filters? With tools or do i replace them? Should I google these things up?

Buy a K&N filter recharge kit. Its under 20$ and will probably last you the life of your car, well maybe 5 years. Just remove the filter, spray on the solution, let sit for 5-10 mins then rinse with water from the inside out. The K&N kit has all the instructions included. I would oil your filter, just not super heavy, I did two coats which I thought were too heavy, but no MAF problems and thats after 10000kms
