First, there is a 2013 FRS, which utterly fucking bonkers handling and constantly feels like it's going to spin. Second, there are all the others. Quote:

What changed between the 2013 FRS and "all others."

Like many things, I suspect the average driver wouldn't know if they weren't told.

Tough question. It's hard to find the actual specs throughout the years. Each time I search I mostly find tangent results but never a clear list of spring rates by model (BRZ/FRS/86) and year (and probably market as well).
You're probably right, but the first year FRS was supposedly very aggressively tuned to oversteer. I never driven a Twin other than my '18 BRZ so I can't comment. |

They all understeer on purpose but the first year frs had the stiffest rear springs. It's quite apparent even in comparison to the first year brz. They all got tamer each year. I don't know the numbers but, yeah. Night and day.

You can make a far more dramatic impact on the handling with your alignment than with a small spring rate change......unless you're already at the very edge of trying to find 10ths around a track.
