A lot depends on the cars age too, newer rides will generally settle pretty fast, my mech said wait only a couple days, I waited 1.5 weeks until I put the new wheels/tires on and its solid gold

my previous car (probe GT) took about a full 2 weeks to settle down right over the tire. I used DropZone Coilovers (dropped 3+inches), so i dunno if settling time is different from regular springs or not...

My (rear) Maxspeeds didn't settle completely until I took a 1500-mile round-trip with a loaded trunk and a full back seat. That was about 4 months after installing them.
