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.

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
