I think the difference can be attributed to the suspension's ability to function properly. A-arms that actually pivot vs merely twisting/flexing rubber bushings might be where the solid/poly body bushings are acceptable vs not. If the suspension pivots as needed vs. 'functional binding', I'm betting the harshness is diminished greatly.
I see what you mean with both posts, the factory rubber body bushings dampen quite a bit. I just got rid of the dampening, car definitely stiffened up.

Does it seem to respond better to steering input?

Yea, slightly lower center of gravity but it's not as sluggish when I turn into something, I'm noticing a difference.
