Now that CPP is out of business, who is going to step up and produce some adjustable control arms?

Hurry up, my tires are wearing out... 
Seems like a pretty big untapped market right now.

How low are you? I never felt that adjustable control arms were the answer to tire wear.
I'm at about 25-3/8" or 25-1/2" and although I do get some inner tire wear, it's not bad enough to greatly affect tire life. It just seemed like adjustable control arms were never meant for street use hence all the issues with noise from past users.

Right around 25". Wear seems to be worse with 245's.
My last alignment I experimented with zero toe, which didn't help. Ended up getting 10k miles on my GS-D3's.

That's really low. I guess at that height adjustable arms are your only hope but maintenance sucks.
I've never got less than 20k on a set of tires. I've gone through my original P6000 (35k miles), Yoko Parada Spec 2 (25k miles), SP9000 (22k miles), another set of SP9000 (25k miles), and a cheap set of Federal tires I used for about 10k miles but still has 50% tread on them. Now I'm on GS-D3s for about 1k miles.
