That's kinda a hard question to answer...It depends on your own skill level and mechanical knowledge to know how fast its gonna take you to install those suspension parts....

I'd say it would take me less than four hours to install front CC plates, shocks, struts and the coil over kit...In all honesty I would take longer than that, but if I were throwing those parts on I could prol do it in about four hours...I've timed my self on my last lowering job, on a 2000 GT...It only took me 1 hour to install a set of Eibach's...I have no air tools and only 2 jackstands and a small 2ton jack... [Big Grin]

Its better to take your time...Make sure you measure where the alignment is set to before you take apart your CC plates...That way you won't crash on the way to the alignment shop, cause your car is pulling too much...To have an acurate alignment you're gonna have to make sure that the coil-overs are the same exact height/setting too...

Good luck...

i think anything can be done with instruction and the right set of tools, but if you've never done anything like this before it will take a while [patriot]
