If you think about it you wouldn't want to buy a spring that compresses as a function of time.

Actually, some springs will settle more than others. The proper procedure is to preload the suspension by supporting the lower control arm before tightening the nuts and bolts during the installation. This way you only need to deal with the tightening once.
