From what I can tell looking at the SA brake kits available, the front of the syncro is already configured for studs and nuts, whereas the 2WD uses lug bolts. I reckon you'd need to convert to studs n' nuts for the Audi brakes just like you do the SA brakes. Dunno where one would find the conversion thingy by itself. I'll probably just "make do" with the SA brakes, personally. Get it all in one kit and just bolt it on.
