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.

GR2's are OEM replacements. OEM toyota shocks are made by Tokico. There aren't any direct replacement AGX shocks... but 2nd gen MR2 Shocks are similar enough that they can be fitted (opposed of course... MR2 rears for Celica fronts, MR2 fronts for Celica rears)... but this requires custom fabrication to the strut casings...
