2 wheel steering is what you need if you don't know.

4 wheel was an option called HICAS. Basically, the rear wheels steer in response to input to the fronts.

Figuring out which you have is simple.

Do you have a coupe or hatchback? If Coupe you have 2 wheel steering.

If Hatch: Do you have ABS? If no abs....2 wheel steeringIf you have ABS.....Do you have the words "Super Hicas" written on the black stripe near the doors? If no....2 wheel steeringIf yes....congratulations you have an VLSD and 4 wheel steering.

If you don't want to go through that check list....look for a K or H in your VIN number. I forget which is letter designates the hicas option.....Or you can always simply look underneath the rear of your car, near the back side of your subframe, if there is another steering rack you have 4 wheel steering.
