      9 inch height in jbar from frame to pinion. We have had 100% standard setup even lately, we have gone back n forth. there isnt any warrior cars around here and the ones that were struggled. this one has alot of wins actully, but its garbage unless car is on black ice. never seems to change. we have a 425rf down to a 275, from max rebound at different speeds, to none. we made the lift bar and yes it had tight clearance, wrapped around the drive shaft, the car has track lap record a few weeks ago, but tried same setup again at another track and it was embarrasing. lol We were thinking of using of softer front springs with heavy rebound and having high rear percentage. that was the original idea, but have tried less rebound also with stiffer rf, but did still have 56.5 rear. that part isnt easy to change. i have had rear end straight up, rr ahead, and lr ahead. the roll center changes seem to really have made the front end better, like the attitude now and behavior of it. anyone ran a lift bar with out the heims on the rear end, our custom one was like this and i think there is some counter forces being applied when its moving????. never got around to setting it up with heims, anyways we have since taken it off. not to much longer, its time for a new car im afraid, wearing on the brain. hahaha

            You definitely wouldn't/don't see anyone from Mastersbilt offering a hand like that!
            Brad was the exception when he was there.

                      7up we strive to keep everyone happy with they race car as we can because just like you said if he's happy an winning he's staying in our car and others will see it too. Don't like todo tech stuff over the computer would rather speak with the guy on the phone go over his whole program an how they do things all thru out the night. One single thing is not always gonna fix an issue. Thanks for everyones good comments, everyone get the same support from us regardless of who you are big name or just a weekly guy on shoe string budget. Mike @ Warrior Race Cars

                        Anywhere from 2009 and up....we have made small adjustments thru out every year but for the most part every part on those cars is the same as now and the adjustments are the same. Dirt Track Supply is a dealer for us in SD but we can work with you factory direct with you no issue you don't have to use the dealer if you choose not to.

                          Some chassis builders aren't helpful but there are plenty that are. Lets not misconstrue that because they don't come on 4m they won't help you. Although its been very civil around here lately, maybe others might?

                            I've always said, Sanford and his guys at Warrior have always been a class act. Sanford helped us anytime we asked, even though we were on another chassis. That kinda help eventually swayed us to start using Warrior chassis.

                              I run a updated 2010 warrior now and then for another owner, love the feel of that car the madder you get at it the better it works, if I was looking to buy a newer car for myself that's what id get, had warriors years ago up to 2005 always liked the 02-04 overrail cars, back when Scott Pound was with them and he helped me win a lot of races and a championship.
