That being said, if it's just a difference in spring-rates, I'm guessing the difference can be felt by only the most experienced of drivers. Probably not me.
It's a difference that can be felt even by a merely decent driver.

Yes, in a single corner instance (straight, corner, straight) The BRZ may feel like it understeers relative to the FR-S

However in a sequence of corners the BRZ's chassis remains composed whereas the FRS starts getting out of shape and overly tail happy. It's fun if you know how to handle it but it's also slower.

Saying the BRZ understeers is a gross misstatement however, relative to just about any car you'll drive the BRZ is not what you'd call understeering car even in the single event scenario. Any understeer is easily sorted with the gas pedal.
