Protec are good as well. Easy to deal with and comprehensive website.

I recently all 4 if mine with a set from Spax. Tony has an incredible amount of historical information and knowledge about Westfield's. They were delivered within a couple of days of me ordering and Tony was very helpful throughout the installation.  

Particularly when it turned out my car had been running front shocks on all 4 corners for all of its life ! 

 

Installation is straight forward as is set up.  

There's a suspension setup sheet from Westfield in on the forum. I'm sure someone will be able to point you to it which will help you set up the ride height. As for damping, Spax documents give great advise.

I would hazard a guess that at this point in time, from a spring/damper point of view, there is nobody in the industry that knows Westfield suspension better than Tony; but then he’s in a unique position, not just owning a Westfield to use as a test/development mule, but to have also done huge numbers of track day miles in it, as well.

 

Of course that’s not to say the Spax are the pinnacle of what can be done. They’re very much designed to a (very popular) price point.if you want Ohlins (et al) results, there aren’t any short cuts, you’ll need the budget to match.

 

But if you’re looking at that next step up after the factory standard Gaz, or need to swap out worn Protechs etc, without breaking the bank, I’d be going Spax every time.
