hi, could any of you fine gentlemen tell me if these are 2wd rear coilovers or 4wd rear coilovers or are they both the same?

99% sure they are 4wd, the only difference is the width of the rear/bottom mounting eye, it is wider on 4wd, but normally same rates as 2wd, just the 2wd and 4wd have a different width spacer, maybe the 4wd ones use a high angle spacer each side, and the 2wd don't.
Easiest way is just measure the width and compare with your car.
If they are 4wd and you need 2wd it is easily sorted, as it is the other way around.

VERY easy to sort out if for 4wd and you're 2wd, at the worst spacers would need 1/4" machining off each end, send to me and I'l do it FREE for you.

The rear coil overs are the same fitment on both 4wd and rwd cars! Tab is wrong.

Try reading my whole post, the bottom eye fitting width is different from 2wd to 4wd, this can be easily sorted if a universal, ie spacer system is not utilised, I've cut enough down by 1/4" per end to know.
