Please use proper English please. The suspension will settle in. No doubt about that. If you are asking whether or not you should wait before getting an alignment. I don't really think so. You'll probably drive around a little bit before you get aligned and that should probably be enough.

your springs are going to compress a little bit more (if they are new) but most likely they'll also wear out (an unnoticeable amount) throughout the life of them

there is the initial settling which should only take 10-30 miles of driving to be completely in place. The settling that occurs after this is minimal. After a day of driving i would go for the alignment
