I think I saw somewhere that the lower mount for the front strut could be moved to improve handling. Any info on this?

The steering arm modification is usually done by a shop
It’s the same as what 911 guys do The steering arm is heated and bent Then cooled in vermiculite over a 3-5 day period Another option is to buy a bump steer kit that mounts where the tie rod mounts go |

OP may be thinking of raising the spindles on the strut. Depending on your setup, this can help keep the suspension geometry in a favorable range on a very lowered car. Brant may be referring to this in writing about a sectioned strut. The amount to raise the spindle depends how lowered the car is and how large in diameter your wheel/tire are. The modification is usually done by a shop set up to do the work.
