If I were to get new struts/shocks installed, as well as lowering springs (1.5'), how long would it take for a professional to do this? 3-4 hours?

I'm trying to get a rough estimate of how much this whole deal will cost me. I'm thinking a grand.Keep in mind im not very mechanically inclined, but I do have access to a DIY garage closeby with the needed jacklifts and powertools.

 

2 hours tops. i did my eibach (4) springs for the first time w/ air and it took a little over an hour.

 

I'd agree with 92stangerang. that should also include the alignment for it.
