5 months ago when i lowered the celica i used the tanabe springs which have turned out to be great, i put new kybs in the back but left the original struts in the front. today the rear struts are already knockin, while the oem are still holdin strong with a 2.2 drop. Has anyone though or noticed that the toyota struts are more durable then kybs? or is it just luck.

If you used the kyb gr2's, then you used 'toyota' struts. The gr2's are OEM; the knocking is more likely coming from your strut mounts or sway bar bushings. I would check those out before dropping any money on new struts.
