Default spring seating period?

i just put koni sports with h&r race springs, the konis spring perches are set at the stock position, but the car wasn't all that much lower, at least not 2" lower. I am wondering if after abit of driving, will the springs go down at all. I have verified that they are race and not sport.
P.S. the car goes great with the new set up.

Why not set the spring perch lower?
How much and how quickly a spring settles (if it settles noticeably at all) will depend on the quality of the spring I have seen.

LOL, I gotcha I gotcha. Well, its a compromise. If I were you, I would just accept the aesthetics and know that I am getting good ride quality and won't be bottoming out/rubbing all the time.
