My 5.7 currently sports a non Kash RP23 in perfect working order but it does blow through it's travel a bit and looks a bit pony.

Aside from size (200x57mm) I know it has a specific tune i.e. 'rebound extra light' so if I am looking at replacing it with something like a DB or VIP'r from here or eBay what do I need to do it it once fitted to achieve the right tune?

Is it a high volume can that is on the RP23?

If so get some volume reducing spacers in it that should help with the blowing through the travel.

For a retune of a monarch RC3 Plus I had to send it off to a pro (Loco) to get it changed from a medium medium tune to low low for my iron horse Mk3. don't know if the CC or BOS shocks can be done with the adjustmetns ont he shock or not.
