A word of warning, this could get better
or worse. The reason is because it isn't the springs that "settle". Unless they're very poorly made or you change the physical properties of them, springs do not lose spring rate over time (although they will lose free length). It's the dampers that break in. This means that two things could happen:
The first is that your setup is currently overdamped (damping rates too high for the springs), and that the dampers need to "soften up" a little to match the springs. This is the situation that people usually experience with fully adjustable coilover setups, and this is what you want to happen.
The second is that your setup is actually underdamped (damping rates too low for the springs). When your dampers break in, they will become even "softer" and the bouncing will get worse. This is what happens when people put drop springs on OE replacement dampers. You do not want this to happen.
I'm not going to make any predictions on your particular setup, but I'm going to put that warning out beforehand just so no one jumps to any conclusions.
