Toyota had no input whatsoever into the design of the BRZ/FRS/GT86 except the spring rates. Which Toyota got wrong, as it happens. Since the FRS spring rates were changed for the following model year that is indisputable.

As for Subaru getting the suspension wrong in the first place they admitted the same by substantially revising and improving the suspension for 2017.

Anybody who has reviewed the 2017 confirms this substantial improvement. The changes I was able to make to my BRZ, most recently fitting 2017 rear springs, also confirms that the original set up was incorrect. I figured out what was wrong in 2013.
