I'm not planning to take the time to do this process on this car, but I did it on my Mazda3 when I was preparing it for the STF class. The Mazda3 has a strikingly similar front suspension design, so the results are likely similar. On that car, it gained 0.2 degrees of negative camber in the first 1.5" of lowering from stock height, but from there to bottoming out, the camber went back positive.
I did a quick online search for information about this on the WRX (since info on our cars is nonexistent), and most threads talk about gaining nothing (or almost nothing) in front camber when lowering the car.
The only other strut-equipped car I'm decently familiar with is the E36 BMW, and it doesn't gain any negative camber when lowered either.
Lastly, there was someone on this board several pages ago who posted his alignment sheet after getting the TRD springs, and he said he gained nothing in the front but the rear gained more negative camber. That makes sense since the rear is a multi-link design. Unfortunately, these cars in stock form need more camber in the front, not the rear.
I'd really like to see more people post their alignment numbers before and after installing the TRD springs.
