Bilstein B4/B6 struts are designed for stock springs and really drive the performance upmarket. Last, buy new stock endlinks and get a 22mm solid rear sway bar. You can do all that for <$2K and the car will drive like a 50-60K performance car until 200K miles with no notable maintenance increases.
My 2014 Passat SE w/roof came with Conti's 63,000 miles. First replacement set were Pirelli Cinturano P7 all season plus. Great tires, except in wet conditions.
0W-30 VW 504 spec Penzoil Euro Platinum is all I use in my MK7.5.
I have the Centric Posi-Quiet on our Atlas - the most dust-free pad I've ever used but of course that comes at the price of not being able to handle heat.
Bosch Spark plugs Motul 0W-20 VW oil for the last two oil changes, about 3k miles on the current change AFE air filter Brake fluid flush within last year or so Coolant flush with VW fluid within last year or so Accessory drive belt New belly pan screws and fasteners
I have them on the wagen right now and they're great, but I am not a fan of Valeo's aggressive logo stamping - there is a white logo on the edge of each blade that's a bit gaudy.

i constantly have other drivers flash me while i drive at night. i do believe these headlights produce a lot of glare.
I just replaced the OEM Conti TXs on my 15 Passat. Those tires were good only in dry weather-they lost traction from a start in wet weather and I actually got stuck in about 2\" of snow on a slight rise by my house.
In a pinch I added Prestone Universal green to my VW coolant, next day the expansion tank had a nasty looking brown mixture in it that freaked me out, my desire to put inexpensive universal fluid to top off my B6 ended up costing me over $150 for VW to drain, flush with cleaner and refill with G12+.
