They should settle a little. If you search the forum others have had this issue. I know there are a few guys on the forum with xi's, and after adding struts they have said it took a month for the car to settle. I'm not sure how true that is. Springs and struts should settle almost immediately. If a 3000 lb car can compress a spring and strut to final ride height they probably aren't very good. All in all I really would say that your car probably won't change height much.
