Correct. I inquired with Koni about specifications and this was their reply:

Thank you for contacting us her at KONI NA. The struts and shocks are not shorten and are similar in stroke and min and max length to OE dampers. The optimized valving and rebound adjustable damping allows for the use with lowering spring and increased spring rates. When designed by KONI engineers, the sport valving is selected based on performance and ride using the factory springs. If the car has performance upgrades (springs, wheel/tire packages, etc.) or the driver wants the car a bit more aggressive, most people find the optimum setting in the 1/2 to one full turn from the full soft range. Over the extended life of the damper or if the driver wants a specific firm handling characteristic, the dampers can be adjusted up higher. One of the great advantages of KONI adjustable shocks is that there is no specific spring for matching optimum performance. Instead you can adjust your KONIs to match your springs. Most performance springs have a higher spring rate than the vehicle's original springs.Since the shock controls the motion of the spring, increased spring rates require more rebound damping for control and that is one of the reasons why KONIs are rebound adjustable (and some are double adjustable). The KONI adjustment range is typically about 100% (twice as firm at the full firm settings at the full soft setting) to allow for proper damping of OE springs and high rate performance springs.

I wish Tokico made Illuminas for our cars as the adjustment adjusts compression & rebound together.
I'm still trying to get more info on the Cusco's before I make my decision to go with the Bilsteins.
