they do fit but they are different (think its to do with the weight of the cars) different amount of coils I think!

Fronts I would imagine would be harder on 4wd, but plenty use 2wd on them without problem, as after market normally uprated anyway, and some companies no doubt do just the one listing to suit both 2wd and 4wd, as they're not a million miles apart.
