Update: Looks like I was just allowed to create a new thread.

As a new member, I am not allowed to create a new thread. So, I’m not sure where to post the question below.

I have a non-technical question about BRZ versus FRS suspension. I am interested in some feedback on which of the two gives less bumpy ride on uneven surface. I know the difference is not large. I drove both, but on different roads, so it is really difficult to tell.

I have seen some reports that FRS is a more bumpy ride, but then there were some other conflicting messages.

I read that FRS has more oversteer versus understeer of BRZ. I also found this info about springs:

Front OE Spring Rate:
Subaru BRZ 27 N/mm (153 lbs/in)
Scion FR-S 23 N/mm (131 lbs/in)

Rear OE Spring Rate:
Subaru BRZ 34 N/mm (195 lbs/in)
Scion FR-S 37 N/mm (211 lbs/in)

So, apparently, BRZ is stiffer in front and softer in the rear, but I am not sure how this contributes to an overall feel of more or less bumpy ride.

I would appreciate any feedback.
