well, in a normal tintop you definately cant see the front left wheel, so most kitcars are a big improvement over that. Myself id go as low as possible, both for centre of mass and keeping your head under the rollbar. As for judging corners, you can usually position within a few inches without seeing the wheel directly once you are familiar with your dimensions. On a road you wouldnt be pressing to such tolerances anyway - if theres a kerb to hit, you'd want to give it a foot clearance to avoid any crap in the gutter. On a track, theres usually nowt to hit anyway!
