Default H&R Street Performance Coilover Install

Quick question, I'm being quoted 6 hours for install of an H&R Street Performance Coilover set for my 2008 A6 quattro. Is that reasonable?

What other components are removed during this process? Is this a good time to replace the control arms (new bushings)? I don't actually have any suspension issues/creaks right now.

Thanks in advance.

Hi zeems,

When I got my coilovers installed it took about 2 hours, for 2 guys. Also, they really didn't need to change out any other parts while 'in there'. My bushings were in good shape, but earlier I had changed out the front sway bar links.

Nice ride, without being harsh at all.

that looks very low. No finger gap at all between the fender and top of the tire! I'd be afraid to run that low where I live, since i'd scrape far too often...but if it works for you...good on ya!

It's 1 finger gap, the rear is sitting a bit lower because the stock suspension is in the trunk, so that was raised to simulate when I have a passenger in the rear.
