If all things were really equal - including the spring, anti-sway bar and damping rates - the coil-over has inherently less friction than a damper/torsion bar combination. Any different between the ERA and Contemporary derives from the E-Type's street origin and the ERA's more performance emphasis. But most people are very impressed at the ERA's Street Friendliness anyway.
