The KYB adjustables will most likely give you a softer ride with the ability to stiffen it up by changing the ride quality due to the adjustment factor. My rear KYB's have eight settings while the fronts have four. I also have a set of Eibach pro kits which lowers the car by about an inch, but if your previous suspension is very old then it is already lowered due to it being worn out so the appearance factor might not change at all but the ride difference will. If the Tein's you speak of are coil overs than expect a rough ride especially if your streets are in poor to average condition.

I have JIC-magics and they're probably a little too stiff for most people.

I would probably suggest getting some KYB AGXs and maybe some ground control coilover sleeves. you can adjust the height and also get them with whichever spring rate you want. I'm sure you can call them up and tell them what you're looking for and they can suggest a good spring rate for you.
