Different Suspension setup on BRZ?

I was reading that the BRZ suspension setup is different than the FRS/GT86 setup. Can someone explain/validate this for me? What are the differences? Disadvantages/Advantages to those differences.

The BRZ has softer springs in the back, and stiffer in the front. This would normally make the car more prone to understeer, but the alignment on the BRZ calls for less rear toe in, IIRC. Combined the BRZ setup is generally regarded as just as fast but more predictable. Though different driving styles will of course find one setup easier to drive.
