Question Settling on new springs

I just bought myself a set of Tanabe GF210 springs (along with everything else i need for chamber/toe adjustment).

Here is my issue: I will have everything next week, the week before I will park the Z for winter
If I install the springs, drive for about 200 miles and then park it for 5 months will this cause any issues with the "normal" or "expected" settling?

I am not sure if it is bad to just let new springs sit with a load on them without any extension or compression action for 5 months.

I have found the thread below, good tips:

Install them, drive and align after winter. It will not hurn them anymore and less if you wait.

We have several "How to store a 350Z?" threads. Very informative.

Thanks. I did some reading (I even posted a thread link above).

Looks like I'll wait to install. The itch to install is going to kill me.
