I've been quoted around 4 hours of labor, from a shop that knows what they're doing (EAS in Anaheim).

About 4-5 hours, especially if they run an alignment afterwards.

1 hour per corner sounds about right.

I'd say around 4 hours as well, although EAS in Anaheim had mine on in around 2 hours. Those guys are awesome and know exactly what they're doing!

We had the springs done in an hour maybe a bit less ... 4 hours is way too long.

Probably just an over estimate. They get pretty busy. I'm not sure how many techs they have to work on cars
