a stock supra or not overly low one then yes,should be alright, the problem comes when you have an aftermarket bumper, usually if it 'sticks out' further than stock as the bumper can foul the ground before the wheels hit the curve if you get me.

 

so unless your 'slammed' or have a kit, i wouldn't worry.

From what I remember, Lakeside doesn't even have steep transitions compared to my local multi-storey and the old Beast didn't ground coming down what must be a 30 degree exit ramp around a tight bend onto flat, over speedbumps, yet it would tap the ground turning left around a normal corner sometimes.

 

Ditto marcAB10, a non-issue unless you have trouble with 'flat' roads already. For a stock Supra, it's soooo not an issue that I'd put money on it.

 

Edit; :wtf: for some unknown reason, 'speedbumps' has been repeated once posted, making me look a right Pilchard, which, I can assure you, I am not. More of a Tuna really! :p

Debenhams lakeside car park, is the one I'm 5thinking of. I have a bomex big mouth and its lowered.

 

I had a Bomex and I still have a big mouth; ask anyone! :D

 

I can't see it being a problem but there's only one way to find out, isn't there? ;)

 

Why not park outside and then have a walk around the ramps to see what you think?

 

You could even make a fold-out cardboard template ;)

 

Either way, take it rrrreal slow.

I was thinking, never done it myself but can supras's come down from those type of car parks. I assume going up won't be a problem but coming down might be a different story right?

 

I was thinking about going out for January sale at lakeside.

 

Mmmmmm Take the BUS!!!

I went Lakeside 2 days ago with the missus, I came down the multi story car park sideways...much easier! :D

 

Mine is stock bodied and lowered on Tein & it seemed to go down fine (Garage pictures are old).

 

Failing that, just park outside, loads of outdoor parking with no ramps.

I've never really been worried about the inclines at multistorey car parks, it's the huge curbs they have either sides of the ramps between levels that I worry about and why I avoid them at all costs - supra sounds nice inside one though ;)

 

I'd imagine how much of an idiot I'd feel if I blocked everyone getting out of the multistorey like an episode of top gear so I'll be sure to think about this before taking it into somewhere new.

I don't do buses. Hate them >.>

 

Multi-storey car parks are a no-no for me, bumper, sideskirts and exhaust all get a doing. I just pinch the wifes car.

 

Think that's what i'm going have to do, i just prefer driving the supra =)
