Just like seat placement or axle stiffness, seat stiffness is a tuning tool. Some taller drivers might want to switch seat stiffness if they think they are getting too much inside lift. A smaller driver might want a different kind of stiffness in the seat to get more weight transfer.
I know of a couple guys who have tuned almost solely by seat stiffness and placement.
