How long does it take to install non-adjustable shocks and springs on an f-body? I'm thinking about getting the SLP Bilstein/Eibach combo and I'm just wondering how long a professional installation would take. I saw on one installer's page that it would cost $550 for all 4 corners. Is this reasonable? If not, then what would be a reasonable price for a shocks and springs installation? Thanks in advance for the info.

front take about 2-3 hours and rears take about 45min. i had pep boys compress the springs on the struts for me to save time.

hmm I did it all my self. But the base has a fully equiped garage and I had a co-worker who was a macanic in the civilian world and the garage supply a few ASE guys to help out. It still took me a couple of hours. plus the bolt of the front shock got lost in transport and had to run around town to find one that fit. The OEM parts are easy to remove and the new parts are really hard to get back in
