I'm not entirely sure that is true. Perfect springs don't take a set, but I'm not aware of a spring material that is perfect.
Unless the springs have been previously placed under similar load for some length of time after manufacture, they will have a tendency to settle under their initial load as the spring material reaches equalibrium under load. With extrmely high quality springs, this may be minimal, especially under relatively light loads and high spring rates found in race cars, but is common on street car suspensions.
