Because it was what was offered off the shelf and it seems to work well when coupled with limited camber (for tire wear on street cars) and stock-ish sways (for people who don't want to commit to a pair of swaybars on top of their $2k+ suspension).

Start jacking in the camber, be willing to do anything with swaybars and you end up in a different place than 400/400.

oinojo in that second thread won STX Nats last year fwiw, and others have put their cars top 10 with 400/400 and similar. It's certainly not 'put those springs on and win' because I've got similar rates (325/500) and I can't get my car set up for the life of me (much less drive it well) but that's part of the fun of Street Touring.
