the '70 does sit lower than the other two, but does have the factory springs in it.

I put these honeycombs on just to see how it would look. It is a change from the dog dishes.

I like the honey's & the spoiler - I'd keep them both if it were mine. Nice ride!

Ok, I'm going the other way. I like Honeycomb's in general. But there's something about a Formula with poverty caps that just looks right! To me it says, "I'm ready to race". No frills. (Especially with the spoiler.)

I like the look of those caps on the Formulas and Firebirds. They do look out of place however on the ta due to those wheel well flares....
Love the spoiler look too but since Im one of those keep it original kinda guys I'd pull it on the next re-paint.
Killer car all the way,
Brew

Thanks' for all the comments ! I was a little worried about them not running true after hearing some others comment on balancing issues. I drove about 30 miles to and from a show yesterday and they ran perfect. I didn't mean to restart the "great spoiler debate".

yeah I have the "Norwood" Latch on a 70 core support. works like a champ!
Oddly enough I sold an OEM pair of screens and bought these because I liked the honeycomb, GASP, yeah hehe, oh well.

Some cars I like with honeycombs, some not so much. Yours looks good with them. I think the chrome rings on the wheels work well with the wheel lip moldings.

I'll pretend I didn't see the spoiler, but I think it would also look a bit better with some air let out of the springs.

Sharp looking car-

I had new springs on the front and put the old ones back on to lower it. I should have left the old rear leafs on also. It might be an illusion but the 70 series 14" steelies seem to fill up the wheel openings more than the 60 series 15" honeycombs.

I see what you mean Kenny - your sig pic with the 14" steelies does seem to have less room in the wells than the profile pic with the 15" honeys. Try a photo of the car with the honeys from the same camera perspective and see how they compare.
