I've looked into this quite a lot recently, spoke to a few people and I'm being led to believe they're pretty much the same. If you look at ETKA drawings the wishbones and lots of other parts share the same part numbers between 2wd and 4wd. The only main part I can see that is different is the wheel bearing housing as you'd expect. If it's regarding buying aftermarket suspension from what my research is telling me it's only the spring rates that differ.
Think they're like that on B5s but not the B6 or B7s. I've searched and searched for pictures of the individual set ups but struggled to find any. Frustrates me that everyone says they're different but there doesn't seem to be any evidence to back it up.
I think the rear ones on the Quattro just have more coils on the spring because their heavier on the back. I'm sure I read this somewhere (don't hold me by this)
