Does the brz come standard with a short shifter? also keen to know if the ride hide the same as stock 86 looked lower, so prob lowering springs standard?

I drove 86 and BRZ back to back a few times and must have nearly driven dealers mad - had both on order, eventually decided on BRZ as I prefer the more 'taught' feeling of steering, but difference is minimal below limits....
Ride height same, gearboxes etc same - grill & interiors slightly different and spring rates slightly different, but cars are "twins".
I suppose I chose Scubi as I already have a Toyota (Prado) and BRZ will be more unusual and Subaru dealers should have better understanding of what is basically a Subaru platform and engine...
