Coilover install

How many approximate hours of labor would be fair for a mechanic to charge for a front and rear basic coilover installation.

Thanks

It's relatively fast man...I could probably swap them in under two. I'm not a pro by any means, but I do have power tools.

Prolly be roughly 4 hour job. Remove old suspension, install coilovers, and set ride height/rebound/compression (if your coil overs have all those options).

Four hours sounds about right. I did it in about 6 in my garage (BC Racing ER Series), and needed a little extra time to figure out how to mount the remote rez's for the rear.
