The LEGO Technic 42125 Ferrari 488 GTE “AF Corse #51” sits quite high by default, almost like a rally car. Luckily it is very easy to modify the suspension for a much better look, you can do it in 2 minutes without any extra parts used.

i'm italian and i relly don't give a third party sheit
i did it but when it turns the wheels touch the arches
my thumbs really hurt from today but i must do this right now!
i dont even have the car, yet
Definitely not easy my fingers are killing me
Do you have video on how to lowered the porsche rsr?
this looks sick when lowers hurt fingers myself but a great tip
Finally, it doesn’t look like a monster truck anymore
Awesome! Bigger tires with Michelin or Pirelli would look also better!
one flaw this mod brings is that when u try to steer and push it, the front wheels will contact with the mudguards above, but since 99% of the time I'm gonna let it dusty on the shelf anyway, this is not a real concern tbh
OMG! There is not much that Lego does wrong. But… This car looked terrible riding so high. I saw the fix of moving the rear shock point one hole down. But, I didn't see the fix that you thought of for the front axle. Absolutely genius! The one fix that I really appreciated was the video for putting a face on the Statute of Liberty. I don't know if this is the first video, but here is a link: https://youtu.be/GwN4F48Q-IQ
thank you for posting this fix. It makes all the difference with this model. Now, I can sleep at night! Thanks again!
i do this but on the back wheels one side stays taller than the other
Awesome, thanks so much. Looks x100 times better!
O my god thanks so much ill be doing this
Just finished mine and did this…..definitely looks race spec now….many thanks
Thanks for the tip!
What is your opinion in regards to the investment factor of this set? I normally buy to build but I just don’t love this one. Not enough to take up precious shelf space lol. Think it will be worth much left sealed in box in the next 3-5 years?
I suppose it's "too high" for clearance. Though they absolutely could have designed the suspension travel to be shorter and stiffer too.
looks much better but still not worth for money buying this most over priced lego tech set
Great fix Lego should have just done it in the first place
You can also cut the springs pre build, but the mod in this video is better.
I’ve just gotten around to building mine, saved this video so I could lower it while building.
Whilst I appreciate the hack to improve the look, personally I don't like the model, they should have done a street version or a new creator model. Stickers on a Ferrari is just plain wrong.
A REAL FERRARRIIII! punch me guido
Much better. Is it possible to do this with the Porsche?
Great video! My 488 GTE is still in the box but I have just finished building the 911 RSR and it has the same suspension setup. Unfortunately this mod is not possible with the 911 RSR. It's already as low as can be.
You sir are my hero 🙂 thanks so much
NICE!! that simple mod makes a huge difference
