A few reasons, but I'm glad someone is finally challenging my setup decisions.
First, pure preference for driving style. On full hard I found myself staying in the throttle in places where, on full soft, I had to back out of it a bit. My times are also better on full hard.
Second, had a VERY good driver hop in the driver's seat for a couple runs. He found it annoying at first, but added in some patience for the car's weak points and better utilized its strengths and beat my best time by 0.1 - which would've been top PAX that day. He said the setup wasn't conventional but worked well once you got used to it.
Third, philosophy. With the street ruleset I believe it's best to do everything in your power to add roll stiffness, and that means a big bar. Also, since any street setup inherently makes compromises, I decided to maximize the car's strengths (slaloms/transitions) at the expense of corner exit understeer in big sweepers. I think with adjustable shocks I might be able to tune that out some, but come slalom time? The car is unreal, almost capable of going faster than I can move my hands.
Fourth, I know I don't have the talent to beat everyone in CS given equal hardware but I still wanna win...so I'm taking a gamble on a setup nobody uses and hoping it works out.
