Does that car you posted have 4WS? I know the 626 and MX-6 had it but I've never seen it on a 929. Or it could just be the angle.
Yea it does, they say 929s in the us didnt get 4ws thank god. because i hear it can be a nightmare.. But it was a common option everywhere else..

Another feature popular through the ‘80s was four-wheel-steering. Again, Mazda got heavily involved in electro-hydraulic 4WS systems (take a look under an upmarket MX6, 626, 929 or Eunos 800M), although many other manufacturers incorporated less sophisticated approaches.
It’s interesting reading material from the time of Mazda’s 4WS release – there are numerous claims of improvements in lane-change stability and manoeuvrability. But today the buzz of 4WS has died away and it’s become fashionable to poke fun at the idea; technology for the sake of it is a common opinion.

I wouldn't go lower, I would just do front spacers and pull the rear fenders. If you want it "lower" I would get a kit personally, I like the car because it doesn't have ridiculous camber and if I'm not mistaken you will have to add more if you want to drop it.
it does have alot of camber already.. just not ridiculous, but a lot more than most. but its coming down!
