Looking at the picture, it looks like the conical washer puts pressure only on the inner race of the bearing (good!), but the stock perch puts pressure on the whole bearing (bad!).
If that's the case, I bet it could be fixed by just adding a thin smaller diameter washer to the assembly so that the load is carried by the inner race of the bearing only.
I'm curious as to why they would design the spring perch like this in the first place, especially when the impreza perch already existed with a better (IMO) design. If they wanted to do away with a separate washer, just make the attached washer conical.
