3.23 A4's and 3.42 M6's came with the aluminum, but the 2.73 A4's came with steel. Couldn't tell you the weight difference.

most of thew 98-02 cars will have the aluminum shafts, but they are weak at best. the stock aluminum shaft will probably be fine in an a4 car with no transbrake, but the tires stopping abruptly in a burnout is enough to twist it. I suggest the PST aluminum shafts if you are in the market for a good aluminum shaft that is good for 1000hp. pm or call me if you are interested.
