Besides, the only difference in suspension between the two are in the springs and struts. If you plan on lowering the car, the subtle differences will go out the window when you change the springs and/or struts. And you could always swap the front bumper for an FR-S bumper if the BRZ front end really bothers you. I recommend just getting it in a darker color as it hides the "mustache" better.

Well I've only driven the FR-S so far but the rear comes around so easy! From what I've heard, the Subaru doesn't come around that easy so it may not be as fun on the road to me. But I would like to drive one to compare, although I probably won't get the chance for a while since they aren't available.
I considered doing the swap on the BRZ but that would still involve replacing the headlamps and all the frontal lamps/lights and rewiring/remounting them, replacing the fenders, replacing the dash (yes, I like the fake carbon fiber!), replacing the shift knob (red stitching), removing the spoiler (do not like), and replacing the tachometer/display.
Yeah, if I didn't plan to change anything, I would probably get either blue or the DGM/black color. But red is my favorite color and I've always had red sports cars and motorcycles. So yeah, it still looks like getting the FR-S and then upgrading the heck out of it is the better option...
