Suspension buy

I want to make my bike ride as smooth as my buddies stock 800s. I swear his is more plush ride and mine feels hard even with preload down and compression on shock all the way loose. I was debating on buying either racertec springs or shock therapist springs. I am leaning towards the shock therapist because they are a true Drs shock because you can adjust the smaller spring separate from the big spring. Any body have experience or suggestions.
