it took me 2 hours for the first corner. then 1 hr for the remaining 3... together! LOL

 

wow 7hrs? i got quoted an 2 hrs at most. but the guy has experience with s2000s..

 

1 hours tops

 

No way you guys are doing it in a hour tops. 15 minutes a side? BS more like 2hrs

 

I guess i have a lift, so thats why it was an hour

 

Hmm, that definately helps.

I take it you don't copper grease any of the bolts to prevent siezure then?

From tools out to tools away (on axel stands) i'd say 2.5 hours

 

copper grease no?
anti seize, only on the lower supsentsion bolts

 

This is a fair estimate.

His "copper grease" = our anti-seize.

The guys that are quoting 1 hr must be somehow magical in getting ride heighth equal at all corners the very first time. Even if one were to set each corner at the same heighth before install, that does not guarantee equality. It takes most folks a couple of times adjusting corners before they are satisfied.

 

spring compressors aren't necessary. just pop em out and put the kw's in. IF he had to use spring compressors that would be the reason why it would take an extra hour or two perhaps

 

i would sooner streak the quad then pay someone 490 to install coilovers on an S. even if you have to use the oem tophats, still about a two hour job. the first set i did i popped the balljoints. after i read about unbolting the top of the arm instead you save a lot of time. do it yourself or pay a friend to help that has done it before. the longest part is setting the ride height. noone can nail that shit right in one shot.
