I test drove all of the models.
Per the limited parts catalog, the PP and non-PP trims share the same spring. The only difference is the damper. The tS uses slightly higher spring rates.

From Edmunds:
"the BRZ tS rides on springs that are 15 percent stiffer in front and 8 percent stiffer in the rear."

Stiffer spring rates will generally warrant revised dampers.
