the pistons might have seized since theres no oil to lubricate the walls which would be the worst case scenario was this a case of too much stance??

Did you have the right filter on the car? This should never happen, the correct filter is short.

Did the car make any weird noises after you knowingly ran it out of oil?

Check the crank sensor.
Does it throw any code?
How low is the car?

No sympathy for hellaflush or extreme camber cars. Periodically breaking stuff is just part of looking so cool
