You can get away with softer front springs on a road car, but on the track they can become problematic due to excessive camber change and weight transfer under heavy braking, leading to poor braking performance. Also if there is a decent amount of front camber that is higher than in the rear, soft front springs and firm rear ones will make a RWD car oversteer a lot when trying to put down power on corner exit, especially if the rear anti-roll bar is too stiff.
