Reviews

Should have replaced these springs long ago. Didn’t realize how out of shape my old springs had become.

Spring set did not fit our 1970 7ECA Citabria. I called American Champion and was told there was a change from 1 1/2 inch springs to 1 3/4 in 1972. Paid return shipping and now shipping for the correct springs. You should have in your catalog that early Citabria take the 1 1/2 inch spring set.
