No as they are not a 'factory option' available in the United States. Those are actually JDM springs being imported in as far as I can tell. You might be able to make a case if you can order them through a Subaru USA dealer and installed by their service department, but as far as I can tell you can't.

Nevermind the fact that the TRD springs aren't a factory option either, they're dealer installed but Scion/Toyota USA installs them 'at port' 'before the car is delivered' and calls them 'factory'...

Point is the FR-S has a OE supported lowering spring in the U.S. and the BRZ doesn't. SCCA rules can be whack because they're written to classify 50 year old Mustangs alongside Chevy Vegas alongside brand new Focus RS and GT-R's and have a 'level' playing field after indexing. If they covered every case the rule book would be thousands of pages long.
