The FRS does not have a .27 CoeF, it is .29. The GT86 sold in Japan with the belly pans and spoiler has the advertised .27 CoeF. The USDM BRZ limited doesn't have the belly pan so it's .28 CoeF. If you look at the brochure for the JDM GT86 you'll see the spoiler is worth 10 points and the belly pan is worth 10 points. Which gives it the sleek .27 CoeF.

Edit: My mistake, it's not in the brochure. It was in another technical article I read. I'll look for it later.
