    I think the rear suspension system in the synchro veedubs is an
independent setup, thus totally different from the rear of the 2wd cars. I'm
actually just supposing though, I've never even seen one.
    The suspensions in the Audi quattro's are pretty impressive. Drive a
quattro, and you will be pleased. It has all of the same good... steering
response(?) that a fwd car has, with the invocable oversteer of a rwd, added
to INCREDIBLE traction.... I could go on and on.

    As much as I like Scirocco's, I would rather spend money on a rare 4wd
turbo coupe (they fetch over 10k if you have fixed all the major stuff),
than create a homogolation of  parts that would be a somewhat of a financial
dead-end.
