took six hrs first time with only a rachet, i'd say four hrs first with airtools. it takes forever to compress springs with a rachet. also make sure to align the springs on the perched correctly or the drop will not be even. i learned that the hradway the first time i did springs and had to take them apart an reposition the springs. if you lift the entire car make sure to support the front suspension after removing the strut because that is about the only thing that keeps the suspendion from pulling out of the transmission. dont let it dangle or it will end up on the floor or at inimum really mess t hings up.

i hope to have my DIY put together by then.

took the shop about 3-4hrs. the back springs alone will run you 2-3hrs. the front is way easier to install. good luck.

rrimportracer made a DIY for it, im sure you've found it already..with all that air tool stuff it should take you 2-4 hours, if you have a team going probably max is 2 hours...be sure to cut bump stops and tighten every screw..

I do springs in about 2 hours with airtools. Use the impact gun to compress the spring compressors and you're golden. The backs are the toughest part. The fronts are really easy too.
