I don't think it has a significant impact on bumb steer. Check out this thread for reccomended ride heights from DMS.

I know my last wrx sat well below the recomended ride height. Those JIC coilovers I had did an awesome job, and i had no adverse effect even though the car was like 3 inches off the ground. The camber was cranked in pretty good too if i remember right.

You must have had different JIC than I did. I think I had the "pogo-stick" edition struts.

You can go lower at the penalty of bad camber in the corners.

my jic's had crazy spring rates on em, they didnt pogo at all. I get what you are saying though with the camber in the corners under load.
