^Not necessarily; ride harshness depends more on the dampers. Also, even the rear swaybar has some effect on perceived harshness (e.g. over bumps/cracks that only hit one side).
FWIW, I've driven on every OE suspension plus several aftermarket ones (most of them on both street and track), and the '02-'03 is my favorite for all-around use. It is, for me, the most "S2000ish".

I grabbed my data from a several year old earlier post. Thanks for posting the correct data! They're so different could they be taking in any sway bar effect?
