If I had them put onto a softer setting, would that adjust the ride height, or do they stay the same height all the time, regardless of settings??

If you have teins with adjustable damping the knob is normally on the bottom of the strut housing iirc.However teins
(like 99% of jap coilovers) only allow you to adjust bound damping.

I don't really understand what bound damping is? Is that when the spring compresses as your first hit a bump? I think that's right isn't it?
Also, I have a pair of weird spanners for them, so would they adjust from the top or from behind the wheel?

Bound damping is how fast/hard the shock compresses, maybe someone can explain it better than me.![]()

I'm no expert, but I would think that compression damping controls the movement of the wheel as it travels upwards, andrebound damping controls the movement of the wheel as it travels back down?
