Nothing needs to be changed to use the V-Maxx coilovers. Just installed them this past weekend and love them.. I had Lowering springs and the Vmaxx has a BETTER ride then before.. Hope this helps

Jeff - did you use the bmw tool to get the top mount off or an impact wrench?

How is the handling of the V-Maxx compared to the stock sport suspension?
