Indeed, at the speeds we are talking about the thing is far more likely to impede rather than improve performance.
I was more interested in actual changes to an otherwise "standard" twin that actually affect performance and feel that make the tS such an alleged sublime improvement over any other "normal" twin. So I ask again - is it just suspension (including sway bars, bushings, etc.) and brakes?

This is thread but it’s a lot of JDM STI tS stuff

For the USDM tS, it is really just suspension and chassis differences, Brembos, and a tuned VSC with higher threshold for slip.
USDM BRZ tS’s changes/additional in a nut shell (besides wheels and tires):
STI-tuned Sachs Dampers (tS specific-USDM)
STI Lowering Springs (tS specific-USDM)
STI Flexible V Braces (JDM part with USDM part no.)
STI Front Draw Stiffeners (USDM part no.)
- Attaches to tS-specific front crossmember
STI Rear Draw Stiffeners (USDM part no.)
- not sure if it attaches to the non-tS rear subframe
