Default 99 Civic sedan -modified suspension with harsh ride

i have a 99 civic ex sedan.. with the "new" blox street series coilovers, hardrace lca's, and the asr subframe and sway bar thing.. also front and rear hardrace camber kit..
buddys car is a 95 ex coupe, with the EXACT peice by peice suspension components as my car..

the question of this thread is, why would his ride smoother and less harsh (bumpy) than my car rides? being serious too..

Spring rates for one. Quality of coilovers for another.
