Thinking about it for a second, I could see where this combo could be an advantage. Softer sidewalls of the RA-1 allow for more bite upon acceleration. Rubber compounds are exactly the same, so no grip issues, just balance issues would be my guess.
Car felt better the 2nd track day once the rears were "broken in" a bit and running a little more pressure in the rear to get rid of some high speed understeer.

I actually picked up 4 unshaved RA1s from a Rennlist member who has a warehouse full of them. I can always pick up shaved ones from him for a good price as he doesn't have any other unshaved ones left.
