Thanks for that. I hadn’t managed to find that link. I’m not going to worry about the few kg extra from the OSS on the ride height. I don’t know of any ground level enough to notice the difference

If you search for 6Q0412301A, 56 mm front rubber stops comes up.They are for 1.2TDI.For the bump stops, it might be better to search for 6Q0412301A rather than 8Z0412301 or 8Z0412301D as very little comes up on autodoc using these two OEM part numbers.
There are four OEM part numbers listed for bump stops on the "Audi Online Parts Catalogue", the other being 8Z0412301C.

I don't know for sure but could it be that the sagging rear is possibly contributing to the high looking front and might actually be the sole problem? ?A word of warning for those looking to renew their front suspension and considering KYB RH1664 springs. I've posted a more indepth thread here asking for advice on replacement springs but the TL : DR is....
I was under the impression that they would be fine on the heavier TDI model but after a full front end rebuild (with Monroe Reflex shocks) the car sits comically high, even taking into account a slightly sagging rear end. (2001 1.4 TDI non sunroof model).
A good shout, and definitely something I've considered in the full thread. I just wonder, whilst it might balance things out front to back, it won't fundamentally change the actual height at the front which is way above where it should be. It's booked in for the rear suspension overhaul shortly so will find out either way, although I'm looking for recommendations on alternative front springs in the meantime.I don't know for sure but could it be that the sagging rear is possibly contributing to the high looking front and might actually be the sole problem? ?
Although it obviously won't bring it down to your desired height, as the car was before you replaced anything (which appears considerably lower than standard to me) I think you will find that it will drop the front down slightly as at the moment it's almost being cantilevered up, like when you have something very heavy in the boot but I suppose as you say you will only tell for sure when the rear is replaced too ?A good shout, and definitely something I've considered in the full thread.

Are they crazy money from a dealer? Otherwise I would try to find someone with access to tps. (Trade) the rear ones re likely common to polo's seats etcI’m looking for where to buy suspension bolts - I’m not having luck, is there any good places to find the following?
N 102 078 04 – Bolt (x4) -M12x78 pinch bolts, front shock absorber to wheelbearing housing. paired with N10106402 nut.
Dealer has said N10207804 is obsolete with no replacement. Must be a new part but I can’t find it at the moment.
