    Replacing shocks on 98 CXi Civic hatch

    How long does it take for two guys, with a hoist, air guns, and a little bit of experiance of replacing the set of shocks (we both are dismantlers, just figuring out how long it takes for a couple of normal mechanics) on a 98 civic cxi hatch? I am expecting the shocks this week cause i have to do it on that night due to a wedding in my way and the hillclimb i am competeing. cheers

    Um for a mechanic normally would take 2-3 hours to change a set of 4, depending on how busy they are. But if your going to do it at home, 2 guys with some experience should take about 2hours? I dunno i'm still new to it and all. My first time took about 2 hours to do the rears? Took long because the bolt didnt want to come out -_-

    Nice to know you share with someone else to love your Honda haha, it may take me 3 hours for both cause I have to take the springs out of the old ones into the new ones.
