45min - the whole day, depending on how good he is at doing it. Average is probably around 2 hours on it.

my suspension took about 15 hours. But I also did a rear swaybar and poly bushings. So.... 10-12 hours maybe? What year is your car, have you ever driven it in the winter? The hardest part is getting everything taken apart.

45 minutes for a full suspension installation? Yeah right.

thats why it sbest to wait until you have your full suspension setup on hand before you start installing. that way you only have to take everything apart once. its really a huge pain in the *** getting all those bolts out.

if your putting on a full coilover setup i would say about an hour to 2 hours, but then you need to set it up how you like it which can take a long time, and it will most likely need an alignment.

if your getting coilove sleeves, it will take a while, because you have to take apart the struts and reuse the upper mounts and such and then reassemble them.
