I think the First King possessed hardening abilities, but I don't think the Coordinate suppressed anything. It's as simple as Titan powers are not inherited. The Titan form and its respective abilities are contained in the serum; by eating a Shifter the user only inherits the ability to return to human form and the Coordinate if given the case. It would seem that their Titan form also becomes more athletic, but the exact relation is unclear.

What seems for sure, according to what we have seen so far, is that the user won't inherit the Titan form nor the special abilities of the Shifter they eat, they will only have what the serum gave them and nothing more.
