I do see a toe control link that has me suspicious that rear toe is manipulated through the compression arc to induce the oversteer I am experiencing during sharp turns.
That toe link makes the lower "wishbone" into a parallel arm setup, but I'm sure the travel arc of the toe control arm is shorter than that of the main transverse link. The outside rear wheel will toe in under compression while the inside rear wheel will toe out under droop if this is in fact the case.
I'm looking at Edmunds walk around here:

Yes, the "bump stops" are on the damper shaft under the dust boot/covers, you wont' see them unless you disassemble the coilover assembly.
Yes the toe link is designed to modify the toe as the rear suspension articulates. I haven't looked at the BRZ rear suspension specifically but I know on the GR Imprezas that the suspension is shared with the suspension is configured to make the rear wheels toe in under droop and compression (i.e. the toe arm is at it's 'maximum' radius at nominal ride height).
