Just wanted to add some input, I installed KYB G2 struts all around with KYB Mounts. I found the KYB mounts on the front noisy. Replaced mount with OE Toyota mount 486 090 e010. Noise went away immediately. I have used KYB before on my RX300, and had no issues, but did not use KYB upper mounts.

As an update, after 25k miles, our front right monroe strut went out. Fluid was leaking down the side of it,....I noticed when I was changing the tranny fluid. I swapped it out today with no issues and returned to Monroe for warranty.
