you know what can be swapped? rear sway bar. Again as a function of standard vehicle width.

The relevant question is how much does it cost the factory to make the tiny differences in production to differentiate the two cars. The subframe and suspension at the rear are nearly identical. The front lower control arms are identical.
The platform upon which the body is constructed will be nearly identical, which is why the BRZ gets such a good crash rating. It's basically a four door sedan with smaller door openings, smaller between the A and C pillars.
Check the vehicle weights: the BRZ is nearly as heavy as the base Impreza hatchback.
