I did the Konis with the BMR SP009 springs, and while firm, the ride is comfortable and compliant.
Pros: comfortable and compliant ride
Cons: firm ride

amortizoare apate sacha - made in germany.
Pros: made in germany
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
I have an XE200 no major issues apart from the shock absorbers which were fairly pricey, but it’s an 8 year old car. I really like it and I’m almost certain my next car will be a Jag despite not really having any brand loyalty.
Pros: comfortable cruiser
Cons: shock absorbers pricey
Tough Dog big-bore adjustable.
Pros: big-bore adjustable
Vehicle:
Nissan Patrol
For years I used Gabriel brand shocks on my pickup trucks. Couldn’t tell the difference between them and Monroe shocks.
Pros: similar to Monroe shocks
Cons: none apparent
I purchased a pair of Duralast shocks(full assembley) to replace my front shocks on my 2014 Camry. It's been a couple months now and I honestly am starting to think they are pure garbage, they don't feel great going 10-40 mph, then on the highway they aren't bad but damn, I feel like I took a step down replacing my OEMs with these things.
Pros: highway ride not bad
Cons: feel like garbage
Vehicle:
Toyota Camry
