It took me and a friend almost 6 hours to do the front and rear springs, front struts, and rear shocks on my Passat. That was with breaks and some picture taking. It is not difficult but can be frustrating. If I did it again, I would pay someone to do it. Cheapest I found for suspension installation was $350. If you have someone who can do it for $200, that is a steal!

BTW, I have H&R springs on my Passat and they are awesome! My only complaint is that the advertised drop was wrong.. it lowered my car about .5 inches more than what it was supposed to.
