Default Questions on 2wd

The other day I ordered a rwd h and r springs for my lexus is 250 and today I received them and on the paper it says 2wd I was wondering if rwd and 2wd are the same thing!? Would I be able to use it still or are they different

rwd is 2wd, and fwd is 2wd. awd and 4wd are (relatively) synonymous. In the case of the IS250, the 2wd variant is rear-wheel drive.

Depending on the specific vehicle, 2WD could mean either FWD or RWD. But, yes, in this case, it means RWD.

Well--how many rear wheels does your car have?
