The A1 knuckles are all the same. You can do all sorts of CV-joint swaps 
until you're blue in the face. However, I say that your easiest solution 
is to simply run a 4k close ratio box and call it a day. Spending lots 
of time and energy to fit the 11" brakes also seems like a waste of 
time. You simply don't need all that rotor and the increase in unsprung 
weight will tax your acceleration and handling. An undrilled 10.1" 
conversion is as wild as an A1 needs IMO.
