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.
