Renault Megane RS265 Front Suspension – Parts Diagrams 2

Perfohub upgrades have been done the Megane III’s in various forms.  The easiest method is to simply dismantle a donor Megane III with Cup (Perfohub) suspension and  bolt all the required parts onto the recipient.

In this post I continue the break out of Dialogys diagrams and the part numbers associated with the RenaultSport “Cup” (otherwise known as Perfohub) Mk3 Megane Front Suspension.

While it’s not possible to identify all specific versions and damper/spring combinations of the RS250 / RS265 / RS275 the majority of “hard parts” are common.  I have used a “DZ18” 2013 Mk3 RenaultSport Megane as the sample.  Springs are generally ordered in sets based on a painted colour code.

As with the other pages of part numbers I haven’t included descriptions.

Renault Megane Perfohub Transplant – About

What is Perfohub?

Perfohub is the magic front suspension design that Renault developed to separate the drive and steering axis of their the Megane RS.  Otherwise decribed as the “Cup” suspension option and usually paired with an LSD and Brembo 4-spot front brakes.

Perfohub Diagram
Perfohub diagram showing major components

Otherwise known as a “double-axis” strut system the basic principle has been used by Ford, Opel and Renault on their pinnacle hot-hatches to resolve some of the negative handling characteristics of hight performance front-wheel-drive systems.

Can Perfohub be retrofitted?

wp3d937a42_06-189x300For buyers of special editions such as the Mk3 Megane GT220 there’s no choice to tick the “Cup” box so we get what Renault provides, a well tuned combination of conventional strut hardware and all that goes along with it.

These pages are the compiled parts lists and technical drawings to show the parts required for retro-fitting the Perfohub suspension, the swap has already been done by other owners – however they have used complete (used) RS265 subframes to achieve the swap.

Considerations

  • This is not going to be cheap, either using used parts or new parts from Renault.
  • There are a lot of “sundry” items that increase the costs.  Things like wheels with the rather unique RS265 offset.  Standard GT220 wheels will extend at least 15mm out from the body line!
  • You need to address both ends of the car, the conversion will increase the front track of the vehicle and a matching increase should be made to the rear – ie doing the equivalent RS265 parts swap there.
  • The benefit of Perfohub without an LSD can be debated – yes you will get less torque steer, yes you will be able to get better grip and cornering accuracy.  Refer back to the comment about sundry costs.

Important!

I’m approaching writing this as the owner of a 2013 Megane GT220, a chassis that already has a lot of RS265 DNA – the brake master cylinder is the same as the Brembo equipped RS265, the gearbox and engine are the same and so on.  If you have a different model you should research further.

The Parts Lists
