Your dad needs to understand that if you get springs your car will look so hot, that all the ladies will drool over you. And without your attention being focused on how to get the ladies, you can focus more on your school work and your grades will go up!

No, but in all seriousness, tell him the car has a lower chance of rolling over and spinning out of control on sharp turns, that should do it

If it doesnt, your dad doesnt love you.

Let's see, what are the chances of hitting a tire? hmmm...
I switched from TRDs to Hothckis springs. I put the fronts on one week. I put the rears on the following weekend. I kid you not, the following Monday on the way back from teh gym at 10:30 at night, I go to switch lanes, I'm surrounded by SUVs, the car in front of me swerves, and what is he swerving to miss? The shreded tread of a semi truck! Had to replace my whole front bumber and side skirt. Total cost of damages? $3675. Thank God for insurance.
Talk about Irony.
However, that tire was so big, it wouldn't matter if my car was stock height, it would have still jacked up my car.
Just sayin, it's possible.
Oh, and if you dad's paying for the car, just be greatfull he gave it to you and do what he says until it's paid off. Or at least work enought to pay for your own insurance.

Oh boy you paid 3K for your car, that is really a tough share. I wish I got my tC for 3K and the parents paid the rest!

well dude.. That's only that start.. Obviously, i'm not really made out of money, nor did my parents pay for all of it.. Plus, they were only worried about me because i was going to buy a used 240sx with an sr20det swap in it for 3k.. They said i'm going to crash and die.. but eh.. w.e. Sooooo, they bought me a tc!! I'm very in love with my car! Hey, you might think this is a good deal, wait til you live under their roof and rules..

Ditto! 3K would be awesome! Think of all the mods you can afford if you just paid 3K for your tC?
