I may try...

The change of the front disks are based on the hub
assembly as used in South Africa. They are looking
same as those used on Syncros, but the wheel bearing
of the 2WD will fit.

There are some German suppliers selling upgrades
like this described above, but the brake pads are
those from a BMW, as one Vanagon V6 driver reported.
Unfortunatly he does have no futher details, but
I got some pictures. I will mail them privately,
if you like to have.

The rear brackets will not fit, the mountings do have
no counter parts on the trailing arm. There have to be
made a self designed adapter.

In Germany there are some plans to use the EV disk
brake system, as those are tested for similar vehicle
loads. Later systems do have vented disks as well,
you may check the current VR6.

I will let you know about futher details as they will
come up. I will test the Audi disk system when the
weather will get warmer.
