can you install new shocks/struts in a day?

I need to replace my existing ones with new ones and I was wondering if this can be done in a day, or maybe a long afternoon?

I replaced mine in about an hour on my 91RS. The back shocks take about 15 minutes and are very easy to do. The front struts take a little longer but if you have access to an impact wrench are still fairly easy.

Mark, those are some awesome times with the L03. What other mods do you have on the car like cam or what?

Yah, they can be easily done in a day. The back shocks are extremely easy, the fronts are a little harder but still fairly easy.

Thanks for the compliment, believe it or not
the motor is stock except for the intake, still have stock cam and heads. Only modifications not mentioned in my signature are things I have done to shed weight. Car wieghs 3070 with me in it.
