Default HOw long for suspention springs to settle...

Just had new eibach springs on the mondeo as it failed the MOT on a snapped spring so thought i would change the lot...

How long should it take to settle down and will it drop it anymore when settling....???

Also, the back is sitting up slightly so would it pay to load it up a bit to help it settle down as there is no weight in it
