Back from the dead... I would also like to know the cut measurements too please.
*update*
Cut 16mm out of mine. Measured angles before/after with my wheels no spacers I was at about 35 deg. After the mod I had a solid 45 deg with the tire as close to the control arm/ sway bar as possible. If I was not running 255's with the 9inch wheel I am sure you could remove 25mm or more to get upwards of 55 deg.
My 92 SC300 has TT supra LCA's/brakes/modified suspension. *On a side note the TT brake calipers gave me more clearance with the strut when going for more turn angle.
So to make clear I carefully had a 15mm (+2x .5mm saw blade) material removed closest to the outer knuckle. Had a IND tig welder with spacific rod welded. Gained a easy 10 more degrees.

I understand a very lil about cutting off my steering nuckles to give me more angle during a drift, but after watching both videos, I think the main reason you're not getting an angle you're looking for is because you're simply lacking a power delivery.
I'm not even maxed out in camber, and if I don't let go of the gas I would completely spin around, I have to feather lightly ikeeping my rear from coming around too fast.
