springs and shocks usually run between 8 and 10 hours for all 4. This is not a 100% accurate time figure sometimes it's less time sometimes more depending on how well maintained the car is...

If everything is rusty and seized than your looking at a longer install time.

Hopefully this helps give you an idea at what your looking at.

Thanks, the car is brand new pretty much, so should be all smooth.

my friend told me only around 2-3 hours

that sounds about right for just doing the springs. give or take a little time.
(didn't know if you were considering doing both shocks and springs)

just springs should take about an hour

all four shocks and springs about 2 hours without alignment.
I have seen it done on my e46 m3 by one tech not working very fast.
2 hours for springs is if your DIY without a lift
