Those OG numbers don't seem correct.

We know from Subaru/Toyotas press kits on release that the spring rates on the front of the 86 were softer than the BRZ, and that the rear spring rates were supposed to be the same.

In this its kind of the opposite, as if the BRZ has the slightly more oversteer setting...? Perhaps its the 16+ refresh?
