How long does it take for springs to settle?

Want to readjust the height and get an alignment done, but want to make sure that I'm out of the settling period. Thanks!

Good springs don't "Settle". Maybe they are not lined up in the spring perches yet..

Also, if you have new shocks, there is some stickeyness at rest due to tight seals. If the springs are seated properly, bounce the car up and down a couple times, and the car will settle at its normal ride height..
