Tata launched performance JTP twins in 2018 and then it got discontinued earlier this year. Tata did not update the Tiago JTP and the Tigor JTP to meet the BS6 emission norms. Nonetheless, there are many enthusiasts who own the Tiago JTP and the Tigor JTP in India and love driving them around. Since the JTP Twins are cars made for the enthusiasts, upgrades and modifications are unavoidable. Well, here is the first Tata Tiago JTP with lower springs and it is the only car in India with this set-up. Here are the details.
The modification job has been done by AMRacing, who have also prepared India’s fastest Maruti Suzuki Ignis. These are Cobra lowering springs that are specially made for the Tata Tiago and the Tata Tiago JTP. The difference in the stance with and without the lowering springs is extremely stark.
With the lowering springs, the Tiago JTP certainly looks much more aggressive. There are a few other additions to this Tata Tiago JTP including side skirting, tinted tail lamps, and a bumper splitter. Overall, this Tata Tiago JTP looks quite different from the stock version. You can know the cost of the installation and the cost of the lowering springs by contacting AMRacing directly. They also stock lowering springs for many different models available in the Indian market.

There is a low of pros and cons when it comes to the lowering springs. The benefits include improved handling as the lowering springs are stiffer than the stock suspension system. Also, the ride becomes stiffer, which reduces the body roll while taking high-speed corners. Other than that, the stiffer suspension also improves the traction of the car and it also makes the car look much more aggressive than stock.
However, since the Indian roads are not very smooth, the stiffer suspension can reduce the comfort of the ride. Also, the tyres may wear out quicker and life reduces as the suspension does not absorb most of the undulations. Due to the lowering springs, the ground clearance is affected by a few millimetres, which may cause your vehicle to bottom-out on the speed-breakers. It also affects your vehicle’s warranty.
Installing lowering springs sure do makes the ride look way cooler than the stock but make sure that you do take a test drive in a car before installing them in your car. It is a reversible modification and you can remove it whenever you want.
