I dealt directly with the Fox factory in California. With my experience getting the shocks custom made for an Apex was easy since Fox already has the specs to use from the standard Floats from an Apex. Since they already have the specs from a Warrior application for the standard Floats I would think they would be able to do the same for you. You should be able to ask them to built the Evols for your Warrior using the same overall length as the standard Floats from a Warrior and just decide how you want them to valve them.
I don't remember right now exactly what I paid for the Evols, but they charged me the same price as any other Evol shock that they make. In other words I did not have to pay any extra for my custom built Evols. If you're going to want to pull the trigger and try to get some made for your Warrior just send me a PM and I can try to dig up the name of the rep that I had dealt with at Fox.

Wow, I am impressed with Fox. Seems like they went above and beyond hooking you up with custom shocks at regular prices. Have you had a chance to run the sled with the shocks yet? Would love to know how they perform too! I am interested in calling Fox about the Evols. If you have the reps info that would be sweet! Thanks!!!

Fox shox perform well enough but in my experience the build quality is not on par with Ohlins and having to rebuild a set during the season can be very frustrating. Now I realize the discussion is revolving arround fronts air shocks not nitro units but I'm not convinced you can get 6000-8000 miles out of a Fox unit before having to rebuild them like with Ohlins. Good luck with your choice.

Looks like I'm going with the Ohlins. Went to dealer and saw them on some sleds.... lets face it Ohlins look AND perform great. I just wish they had both Compression and Rebound adjustments! One is better than none!
Here is all the shocks available from Öhlins for Attack.

Maxdlx - do you think guys are fitting other models shocks onto the Warrior or are they finding the impossible? Pioneer is a sick suspension site... maybe I'll give them a call.
I'm not sure the ohlins site shows a shock for the warrior, but it is the 419mm shcok for he attak/apex. Have you tried carver performance. they might have something. Maxdlx
