Default Springs: How long do they take to settle?

Here is my setup:

1994 Civic Cx (d16z6)

H&R Sport Springs
KYB AGX Shocks
Ingalls Front Camber Kit

Its been about a month and I dont like the look of my ride, for me my gap doesnt look right with my Si rims (195/55/15) Should I wait longer for them to settle? Or buy Neuspeed Race spring or skunk2 coils

i've been told, to fully settle, they can take up to one year. but realistically, i think a few weeks to a month.

My springs settled in about a day or two. They are Comptech springs, but that shouldn't matter that much.

i'm assuming your shocks are adjustable? i may be wrong, but i don't think your springs will settle if you have you shocks on a stiff setting. my shocks are adjustable and i usually keep them on the medium setting. i take them to the softest setting once in a while and push my car up and down hoping that will help the springs settle.

My Eibach's took around 6 months to settle when I had them paired up with my kyb agx's on the-one down from stiffest level, this was on a crx though
