Lowered 3rd Gen TL's and Automated Car Washes

Any 3rd Gen TL owners take their lowered car (A-Spec or other suspensions) to the automated car wash? Does the suspension ride on the rails? I know you guys would probably flame me for taking my car there, but I've had no problems using that car wash (plastic rails, brushless), and they did a better job than a hand wash place I used to go to. I'm just concerned since I just got the car lowered and was curious to know if the car will ride on the rails. I guess I'll find out the hard way if this hasn't happened to anyone....

I wouldn't try it. the car is pretty low. The sad part is, if you try it and it doesn't fit, it's hard as hell to back out of those things. Especially if someone pulls in behind you.

if you're lowered without the a-spec body kit, then you're fine, if you are lowered and have the a-spec body kit, i HIGHLY doubt it

Well, I figured it take the risk. I just got back from the touch free wash... car was perfectly fine. Aspec suspension (so it was lowered) AND the body kit...

I was VERY nervous though....
