They are the same mechanically based on what we've been told (including tire/wheel size).

Most likely one of the two numbers we've been given is simply wrong. Considering all of the other incorrect/changing info we've been given this shouldn't really surprise anyone.

To me, 15 mm either way is easily explained by some combination of suppension settings and wheel/tire size. Shoot, maybe the tires were a bit low on air on one model when it was measured.

The .6" difference could be due to the different tires being equipped from the FRS to the BRZ. I don't see the use of nitpicking on a .6"!?! Would it really make that much of a difference you guys?
