Default install time

What is a typical install time for shocks and springs on all 4 corners? I was quoted 4.5 hr and $390 for the job. This sounds a little high to me, but maybe I was just hoping for something cheaper. Some guidance would be much appreciated. (FTR I got koni yellow adjustable shocks with H&R lowering springs, pics to follow, at the latest 2.5 weeks) Thanks again for your input!

Someone who has done it a few times could probably do it in half the time. I can take my front shocks out in less than 10 min. The left rear is harder, but with the right tools is still not too much of an issue.

When I installed my Tein S-Techs it took me about 2hrs...

When I installed my Megan Track Coilovers it took me an hour to install and an hour to get the ride height where I wanted it...

try doing it urself. 400 bucks to get that installed isn't worth it imo... round up your buddies and get some tools. search online for DIY guides, and bam, have fun!

If you've done it before, its easy. Assuming everything is pre-assembled, Probably 15 minutes each on the rears and 30 minutes each on the front. An extra 5 minutes to undo the filler tube on the rear driver's side.
