It was not as digressive but you said it was worlds better then the AGX's and it was the old 8611 style with too much compression dampening. What it boils down to is for nearlly the same amount of money as a set of AGX's you can get a shorter strut. Thats the biggest deal. AND (if you pick the right strut) for $135 a corner you can get a strut that will easily handle 450lb springs and is several inch's shorter then AGX's and has less compression dampending then your original 8611. You may say the AGX's have a better dyno curve. But on the road and the track you can't get a car to handle as well with AGX, not by a long shot. They are simply to long and don't have the ability of the Koni's for rebound control. Plus, AGX's seem to shock the tires too much on the street. B13's in particular like to get bouncy with them. Thats not good handling is it?

The dyno cuve I have for the AGX is more digressive than the one I have seen for the koni red for instance.
Of course the truechoice is better, it has well travel and enough damping for the spring rates. The AGX shock is better for near stock ride height. My Truechoice suspension does not have the STD 8611 compression damping, it has around 120 lbs compression damping on soft and about 200 lbs full stiff.
The AGX's I have seen that are boncy are because the car is too low/no travel, shock is blown because of running to low, etc. The AGX/Hyperco second gen does not seem bouncy to me.
I havent tried your Maxima combo. The shortened Sentra Koni red is underdamped.
