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

It’s for bump steer purposes
That only comes into play if a car is lowered so much that the stock geometry of the suspension is compromised by lowering the car

The modification is to correct the compromise of lowering
By changing the steering arm


On the bottom of the strut I’m less aware of modifications that would move or change
Some use offset ball joints when trying to increase negative camber

There are other things that can be done
My strut housing were sectioned. And with custom race Kori’s that are shorter than stock to give back shock travel on a lowered car

Get a performance oriented 4 wheel alignment with tires that are soft. Like 100 treadwear rated. And high end brake pads. You’ll enjoy that for a performance handling
