Are you assuming a paid professional is doing this and using a lift? I ask because I just did swift springs w/ H&R DRS (stud replacement) spacers last weekend. I did the entire job by myself in my garage with a jack and a couple of jack stands. It took me probably 10 - 12 hours. I had some trouble removing some of the bolts and one of the front rotors. I also messed up the top hat alignment on the front struts and had to fix that so those issues accounted for a lot of the time. Keep in mind that I am only a hobbyist mechanic and this was my first time doing spacers and springs. With a lift and a second set of hands I could cut that time in half now that I've done it once. Its reasonable to think a pro could do the job in 3 - 4 hours.
