Why do you need dampening adjustability?

The problem is the internals of a shock have enough machined moving parts that making a decent one is expensive. When you add adjustability to the mix, things get significantly more complex and getting the shock to maintain a similar dampening ratio throughout it's range of adjustment is difficult. Let alone having some kind of consistency/repeatability of adjustment.

As others have said, I think what you're after is Koni yellows with lowering springs (TRD, RCE, etc). Unless you want to go significantly lower than 1" from stock, in which case if you want to retain decent handling you have to either spend more money or take a bit of a gamble.
