it takes a good 1.5 hrs -3hrs for myself with basic tools , compressors etc to do a full front and rear spring swap. But , ive installed a good 50 or so sets of springs into various cars around Sydney sofar lol.

For no experience, there is DIY guides on the net in hondatech etc to follow - not TOO hard , its most important to keep everything tight and in spec after finished :)

I own a 94 teg and did it my self. I put kings superlows it.
If your by yourself, it may not be that easy if you dont have the right tools. It took me about a day to do all four wheels. 3hrs sounds right for all four wheels, however it took me longer.

takes a good 3-4 hrs with basic tools and need a buddy to give ya a hand.

if u have a car jack and air compressor even better. can probally do it quiker.
hardest thing i find when doing this and what shiets me the most would be the bolt which connects the fork and the lca's.
