The Complete BC Racing Coilover Guide for Renault
BC Racing list the Clio III 200 (2010 to 2013) and the Clio III 197 (2005 to 2009) as two separate kits, and the titles tell you why: each one states the top mount dimensions, and they are different. The 200 listing shows 106 by 3, the 197 shows 138.7 by 123.6 by 104mm. Both carry the MK3 chassis code. Right model, wrong top mount spec, and the strut top will not sit. That is the only real trap in the Renault range.
Fourteen fitments across 13 models, all on BR. The Renault 9 (1983 to 1996), the Megane II (2002 to 2009) and the Megane RS (2004 to 2009) also carry RM. The Clio IV RS (2012 to 2018) is the only Renault in the BC catalogue with ER and ZX on top.
Which BC series fits your Renault
BR covers every Renault fitment in the range. RM is also available on three models: the Renault 9 (1983 to 1996), the Megane II (2002 to 2009) and the Megane RS (2004 to 2009). The Clio IV RS (2012 to 2018) is the only Renault in the catalogue with ER and ZX options. Everything else is BR only.

13 live BC Racing coilover fitments for Renault (discontinued Clio RS Trophy not shown)
What to check before you order
Read these before going to a part number on a Renault order.
Clio III: confirm which top mount spec your car takes. The 197 (2005 to 2009) and the 200 (2010 to 2013) are listed as separate kits because the top mount dimensions are not the same. The 197 listing shows 138.7 by 123.6 by 104mm, the 200 listing shows 106 by 3. Both are on the MK3 platform and both look like the same car. If you are not certain which top mount spec fits, drop us an email or click to open a chat and Garreth or Cameron can confirm it before you order.
Clio IV RS: ER and ZX are available on top of BR. The Clio IV RS (2012 to 2018, chassis RM5M1) is the only Renault in the BC range with three series options. BR is the standard 30-way adjustable kit. ER adds a separate canister reservoir and a larger damper piston, which gives more range at the damping adjuster. ZX uses inverted front struts, reducing unsprung weight. All three are listed for the same car. If you want help deciding between them, drop us an email or click to open a chat.
Clio RS Trophy: this listing is discontinued. The BC Racing kit for the Clio RS Trophy (2010 onwards, chassis MK4) is marked as discontinued in the title. We cannot supply it. The Clio IV RS listing above covers the overlapping years on the RM5M1 platform, and may fit depending on exact spec.
BC Racing coilovers for the Renault Clio
Six Clio kits. The Clio IV RS (2012 to 2018, chassis RM5M1) has three series options: BR, ER and ZX. The Clio III splits on top mount spec: the 197 (2005 to 2009) and the 200 (2010 to 2013) are separate listings because the top mount dimensions differ. The Clio II RS covers the 172 and 182 (1998 to 2004) and the 182 Cup (2004 to 2006) as two separate chassis listings. The Clio V6 Phase 1 (2001 to 2003) is BR only.
BC Racing coilovers for the Renault Megane
Five Megane kits across four generations. The Megane RS (2004 to 2009, chassis CM2H86) and the Megane II (2002 to 2009, chassis MK2) both carry BR and RM. The Megane III RS (2008 to 2016, chassis DZF4R), the Megane IV RS (2016 onwards, chassis BBM5P) and the fourth-generation Megane (2016 onwards, chassis MK4) are all BR only.
BC Racing coilovers for the Renault Twingo and Renault 9
Three kits. The Twingo III (2014 onwards, chassis AH) and the Twingo RS (2008 to 2014) are both BR only. The Renault 9 (1983 to 1996) carries BR and RM, and at over 40 years old it is the oldest car in the BC Racing Renault catalogue.
Final thoughts
Fourteen Renault fitments, all on BR. The Clio III is the one listing where you need to read the title before ordering. The 197 and 200 share a chassis code, and the top mount dimensions are in the title for exactly that reason. Outside the Clio III, the Renault range is clean to navigate.
