COILOVERS RM-MA / BC Racing / Megane 2 RS

BC Racing RM-MA coilovers for Renault Megane 2 RS 2004 to 2009

This new BC Racing RM-MA coilover kit is intended for Renault Megane 2 RS, including R25, R26 and R26.R versions. Sold as a set of 4, it significantly improves road and sporting handling through a design drawing on BC Racing’s motorsport experience.

The RM-MA range uses inverted monotube technology at the front, combined with spherical-bearing top mounts, for greater rigidity, more precise guidance and a more direct front axle response. At the rear, standard dampers are combined with rubber-bushed top mounts where the vehicle configuration allows, retaining a good balance between effectiveness and control.

Part function

Coilovers replace the original dampers and springs to control body movements, vehicle stance, traction and road holding. They allow ride height and damping firmness adjustment to suit sporting road use, circuit, rally, drift or hillclimb.

On a Megane 2 RS, high-performance suspension is essential to exploit the chassis correctly, improve turn-in, limit body roll and optimise tyre contact with the road or track.

Symptoms or consequences of worn or unsuitable suspension

• Loss of steering precision and less incisive handling.
• Excessive body roll in corners and significant body movements under braking or acceleration.
• Reduced traction on corner exit, particularly during sporting driving.
• Uneven tyre wear due to poor control of suspension movements.
• Reduced comfort, unwanted noises or a feeling of instability at high speed.
• Limited circuit performance as the original dampers heat up and lose effectiveness.

Benefits of replacement

• Clear improvement in road holding and chassis control.
• Ride height adjustment to adapt vehicle stance to the intended use.
• Firmness adjustment over 30 positions to adjust rebound and compression simultaneously.
• More precise front axle thanks to the inverted design and spherical-bearing top mounts.
• Reduced unsprung mass and improved suspension responsiveness.
• More consistent handling in intensive use thanks to heat-resistant high-performance oils.
• Solution suited to demanding drivers seeking a more effective, more adjustable chassis.
