depends on how well versed you are with the suspension.

the rears took me about 30min/side. 3 bolts/rear strut, and 1 bolt/spring

the fronts should take no longer than an hour each. its a straight bolt in. 1 brake line bolt, 3 top-hat bolts, and 1 lower mount bolt.

im thinking for a shop...they should charge you no more than 3hours if its a straight bolt in install (such as stance gr's, bc's, etc). kw's on the other hand need to use the stock top-hats so that takes a bit longer to remove.
