Um...maybe just the rear of the car. I doubt anybody could do 4 springs, 2 shocks, 2 struts, uppers and lowers, with replacing the axle bushings in 2 hours. I know you just did some of this to your ride (I have been checking around for tips and tricks). Anybody care to put time estimates on each? I'll let you know how long each took just for the hell of it.

If you have the tool for the axle bushing, and air tools, 3-4 hrs for 2 ppl really isnt that outrageous. especially if those 2 ppl can work together and have done the job already.
Wow 7 views and 6 comments.....I should mention that I will be doing this in basically a machine shop (with more tools than you can imagine) and also in a pit...not under jacks and stands. We have 3X6 boards that run across the pit for jacking if needed. So I might have a slight edge being in a pit. Also going to try and weld up TQ boxes while I'm in there.
Main goal for the Saturday is the rear....if it goes smoothly then start the front.....If not gears are going in the first weekend in May so I will tackle the front then if I don't get it done.

I consistantly change four springs and shocks in the neighborhood of 2 to 4 hours depending on snags and what not. I cannot recall the bushings, but very easily in less than a full day unless you hit snags, which unfortunately seems inevitable... 
Either way, its easily done.

if replacing the bushings that go in the rear end housing, just replace the bushing not the sleeves, but if you do replace the sleeves too, air hammer the ***** out of them, and anti- sieze the loop in the rear end and the outside ot the sleeve and pound them in with about a 2.5 pound mini sledge

Let us know how long it takes you! Since you are asking, I'm guessing you haven't done this type of work before so I would guess it will take a weekend if you take your time and make sure you do it right.
Good luck!

Project went great, we took about 4 hours but did some different stuff.
We installed the Steeda uppers, changed the axle busings, Pro 3i lowers, Eibach Pro springs, Energy Suspension spring isolators, retorqued Trick Flow intake, and the best of all welded the torque boxes in the rear. The only problem I had was one of the lower bolts was pretty much welded to the sleeve in the control arm. I will have some pics updated in my domain page soon. I'm going to do the front springs and shocks when I change my gears in May. I'm pretty happy with the install overall.
