FWIW, Stu Brumer at BSI Racing uses A2 strut housings on A1's.  I
believe the part that bolts to the hub carrier is wider than an A1's so
it has to be shimmed, and I also think the bolt pattern is slightly
different requiring some filing.  IIRC, it's used when he removes the
perches for a coilover conversion.  He says the larger diameter strut
tubes allow the use of a Koni double adjustable shock, which is not
possible (or not ideal) with the smaller diameter A1 housing.

For the rest of the world not into modifying all this stuff, though,
they don't fit.
