Cons: Loss of sport/comfort modes

Qmulus that is a great tip for removing that bolt. When I put my Golf R control arms and Audi solid rear bushings on our 2013 tiguan I lowered the sub frame because I was installing the dead set kit at the same time. Along with HD Bilstein shocks.
Pros: great tip for removing bolt
Vehicle:
Volkswagen Tiguan
Best thing I did was put Bilstein 5100's on it in place of the Ranchos.
Pros: Bilstein 5100's improvement
Mileage: 60000 km
As was mentioned already, the Bilstein B4 is available for the front and rear of the Atlas. I have a full set of B4s on my mkV Jetta and they are fantastic. Quite firm but still comfortable. They rebound once and the party's over, unlike the Atlas which pogos down the road.
Pros: quite firm, still comfortable
Vehicle:
Volkswagen
Bilstein claims around 10% stiffer dampening and rebound over OEM. I've had both B6 and B4's on my Passat, and the B4's was something I preferred more.
Pros: stiffer dampening and rebound
Vehicle:
Volkswagen Passat
However if you're willing to spend upwards of $300 per shock bilstein b6 shocks go great with heavy loads.
Pros: great with heavy loads
Bilsteins would be a better option to choose from as they have direct replacement shock valving that offers a better ride then the stock rancho's but its all personal preference. Bilsteins while stiffer then stock some find too stiff (they're main goal you can say is handling)
Pros: better ride, direct replacement
Cons: stiffer then stock
Shock wise people say great things about bilstein 5100s, but I've got no experience with them.
Pros: people say great things
Cons: no personal experience
Vehicle:
Chevrolet Tahoe
Bilsteins have never failed to deliver for me. They spend so much on R&D and valving test and tune that they just perform so much better.
Pros: reliable performance, better performance
Bilstein 5100 is what I replaced them with. The ride is a lot better.
Pros: ride is better
