BRZ vs. FRS suspension question

Is it the front shocks, the rear shocks, or both that are different on the BRZ compared to the FRS? Are the ARB's different too?
Just wondering?

Someone correct me if im wrong here.

ARB are the same.

Subaru BRZ have same spring rates front and rear. (confirmed by Racecomp Enginering, 185 lbs/in front and rear)
GT86 is said to have about 10% softer springs in the front compared to BRZ. Softer front springs have been confirmed from many sources.

There are small differences on the dampers. GT86 dampers being a little stiffer is said. Not sure about the difference front/rear in comparison to BRZ.
I have yet to come upon a good source for the exact info on the dampers.
