Nice driving btw!
This car is on a earlier prototype valving of Tein SRC.

There should be another video of a fender cam up later this week when our media guy finishes it; it'll show how the suspension absorbs imperfections, bumps, and berms. The track is not as smooth as it would appear from inside the car

As for power oversteer, it's probably more driving style than the car between you and him. However, the FR-S will break it's loose a bit faster on stock suspension than a BRZ on stock suspension.
