On some cars, there are explicit changes made to raise the roll center, such as moving the strut upper mount location with camber plates or modified tie-rod end's (whiteline roll center kit).
In general though, yes. Many excessively low cars have the front roll center blow ground.

What I've been told about having the RC cross the ground plane is that compliant bushings react differently to the direction of the jacking forces causing a more dramatic change in suspension geometry due to the compliance.
The less compliant the suspension bushings are the less crossing the ground plane matters.
just ordered:
voltex kit w/o rear fenders
hrs front fenders
sun auto ignition thingy
takata harness
2 18x10.5 nt03+m, 2 18x9.5 Nt03+m

diffs
seats
weight stuff
exhaust mani

Remind me where all that money is coming from? That's freakin unbelievable for a kid your age - Lord have mercy. Even at nearly $250k/year, I can't quite splurge like that. Maybe I need a financial advisor. 
The one issue w/ the ACT is that it doesn't like to be 'speedshifted' & if the clutch isn't fully disengaged on the floor, it'll miss shifts.
Yep, I had an RS front LSD put in almost immediately after getting the car.
evobeatsti--thx for the tip on the 2win-disc, but I've heard you'l need to replace those discs relatively often.

It's called being young, not having a family, not having a mortgage, not having 3 car payments . . .
no house payments, or car payments. i have worked 30 hour weeks since i was 14 and have my own business now sealing driveways which i make bank off of. basically, all the money i make i can put into my car as i food and shelter is already covered.

You could even hook you Evo MR up a lot more then it seems, 250K is a lot of scratch and a couple hundred for a FMIC is nothing.
I'm not buying that working as a teenager was enough to pay for all that stuff, evobeatsti. Maybe by living at home and having mega-rich parents.
(again)
I don't spend money on the car if I can help it. Our money goes to family-related things, and the car is not of any interest to my wife. I don't really make that much - maybe that much combined.

There is a REAL group buy going on for Buddy Club 18x10 P1QF wheels. The lightest 18x10 in the world!! (at least the lightest under $2K per wheel).
We need a few more people to make this happen. Just count this as an early Christmas present to yourself!!

Oh come on Kazz, you won't be the only one in Rantoul with rolled fenders and spacers.
These wheels seem like a good deal but still not worth the cost difference over my 9.5" wheels.
