What he's talking about is functional suspension angles. When you go too low you destroy those which decreases the overall function if your suspension. There are parts that correct that but my money is on him not having them let alone knowing what they are.
Comparing a subaru to a supercar is like comparing a subaru to a monster truck. Designed for different things from the ground up.
Only weighing in on that right now.

If you don't correct steering geometry with a roll center kit and ALK the wide wheels and low ride height screw up your steering geometry.

I know how it is. My caddy is so low the front tires can't turn all the way without hitting the fenders and the exhaust slams off the ground.

In other news I got my Whiteline sway bar on...omg it makes such an amazing difference! I need to buy more suspension stuff already lol
I couldn't get the sway bar support brackets on because the bolt on the lateral arm was so F****** tight i couldnt get it off! I legit broke 2 ratchets and completely bent a 3rd lol so I gave up. I guess i need to find a shop to get that bastard off

Perrin stuff is pretty much only meant to run with Perrin stuff. That's why you buy their whole kit.
They don't do a very good job of fitment testing. They pretty much design the part with their other parts and throw it on there.
I ran perrin end links on a whiteline sway bar with no problems. But doing it the other way isn't really going to work because the perrin bars are different... their even different from each other depending on which version you got.
I'd pick up some perrin end links.

Depends on how bad.
I will be pulling some perrin end links off my car here pretty soon. I'll soak them and clean them really good. If I can get the bearing moving freely I'll let you know. Might be worth test fitting them so you can see if that will fix your problem so you don't waste money.
But honestly... shouldn't be too hard to find someone to trade with.
