Both the Mk1 and Mk2 Sciroccos are A1 chassis cars. You can absolutely swap
the suspensions back and forth. However... this is not advisable between 8v
and 16v-equipped cars. The 16v motor is heavier by a fair margin. This
changes your ideal spring rates. That is, springs tuned for an 8v car will
sag under the weight of a 16v. The handling will be affected accordingly.
