Default Too Low for Cornering?

At some point someone (it may have been Jazzer) wrote that for cornering and handling going too low would be counter productive. If so what would be a max drop for a car with basic suspension mods; frame connectors, LCA's springs/struts etc?

That probably was me, as there is a point at which you lose, not gain, good handling.

On OEM "K" and otherwise stock geometry, will afford about 1.5" drop untill you get a bit dicey. The UCA"s are the biggest single issue that can be addressed beyond what is mentioned above. Barring an upgrade to a tube "K", and your other listed mods, a PHB or WL and TA will be a MASSIVE step in the right direction for going in left/right directions
