they're not identical, they're not nearly identical and they cannot be used with each other.. if they were I'd have a LOAD of free parts to swap back and forth to experiment with. If you've had both apart you would ABSOLUTELY understand this intimately
what a waste of time, go try to swap parts on the subframes and post a pic how well it went since audio, video, narrative and experiential-based evidence from those who race and wrench on both platforms is of no interest to your exquisite guesswork

None of this is relevant. The reason you can hammer your BRZ over gravel roads
is because it is basically the same car underneath as the Impreza, Forester and Tribeca, complete with decent ground clearance.
I have not suggested the suspension subframes or parts are intended to be interchangeable, although some are of course. They were all engineered at the same time, provide very similar driving characteristics and are very robust. In fact, one of the deficiencies of the BRZ arises from the fact that the chassis is derived from a fwd/awd platform.
From your arguments I'm pretty sure you do not understand what a platform is.
