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.

More rambling bullshit.
The progressively changing rates is not because they did it wrong but because they want to appeal to a larger market. All cars evolve that does not mean they were "wrong" to start with.
Have you not read any of the development story. Toyota did not just hand the car to Subaru and say "meh you design it". They were involved in every aspect.
