so basically I'm going into the Stealers this week and asking for the following;

Polo 6n2 Top Mounts x4 (front and back)
Mk4 Golf Bearings x4 (front and back)
Mk4 Golf Bumpstops x2 (Rear)


is that correct?

nope, bearings are only needed for the front so 2off

then top mounts, unless you plan on going massively low I would get standard versions. so 2off those

Now you may need new bump stops on the front and back. This is something you prob won't find out until you get the shocks apart so it's up to you.
