Assuming the car is in perfect working order I am surprised you notice any difference at all. As pointed out in an earlier page the difference in spring rates is relatively small and the damping rates are also minutely different. Top Gear did a blindfold test to see if they could tell the difference after a few days of driving them:

Back on with the blindfold for a blast up the same bit of road. And after five minutes of blackout in each car, I think a verdict has been reached. My first mystery ride? I'm going with the Toyota. I could swear it pushed me harder into the seat bolster as it took a greedier first bite at each corner. Next? Subaru. The ride was ever-so-slightly calmer... a little more subdued, maybe. Not by much, but certainly a bit. As the mask comes off, I'm proved correct.

I'll put money on you misremembering the BRZ and you don't typically drive on the same roads you did a test drive at the Subaru Dealership in. Walk up to the dealership, say you're interested in upgrading, they'll be happy to let you drive the BRZ again, say it isn't different enough then immediately drive the FRS on the same loop. Decide from there.
