I work for Philips Electronics (dutch company) and make trips often there. The shocks do not look to be koni and the pre-load is adjustable. They are quite heavy though. They weigh 4.8 lb a piece. I'm currently prototyping a set here in california and hope to bring a set with me to OSH. They will be adjustable in length (shooting for 5.5" - 6") and preload. Also the shocks should be lighter. I'm a mechanical engineer and want to do sufficient testing both through predictive modelling and actual before I would release them. If that is something you would have an interest in, let me know.
