The springs are different on an FRS vs a BRZ. It's not drastically different but noticeable.

Even on the 2016? I thought they slowly started tunning them to be the same as the brz?

2017 is when they kind of became virtually identical.
I imagine the differences with the prior years were more obvious the earlier you go. |

there is a thread somewhere that someone measured spring rates for FRS VS BRZ and they were different enough to make it worth taking note of the differences. The BRZ is made to handle and the FRS is made to drift. Or basically that in a nutshell.
