To be nice about it, the Toyota tuning might be a little more aggressive at lower speeds such as for Auto-X

Well, I didn't find my FR-S to be too loose in stock trim. The alignment wasn't great though and it's very possible and in fact I suspect likely that the fact teh FR-S was too free might well have been that (and maybe the BRZ was setup tighter just as luck of the draw).
Considering the cars are pretty much the same, there is some reason they did different springs and dampers.
As for more neutral, well, that can also mean "have more understeer" vs. a car that is more free (which doesn't mean it's a oversteering mess either).
