Yes, you can use shorter steering arms. But, no they wont make too much difference, reliable sources inform me that 8% less turns can be expected.
On top of that with shorter steering arms you lose the ackerman effect geometry which is a designed into cars to allow the outside wheel to turn at a greater radius than the inside. This is extremely important when it comes keeping both tyres gripping properly without scruffing. Mess with it and poor front end grip and short tyre life will result.
Make no mistake, there is a mass of very technical design work that goes into the suspension geometry. It pays to know what it is you're tinkering with.
As for installation, It would pose no problem to the DIYer with a little knowledge/brains.
TurboRA28,
to be honest i dobnt think so, this is the sort of thing you'd need to have done by an engineering workshop.
