It won't take long to do...

provided that everything comes apart easily, (No chance... )
or your friend is good with a blowtorch on the bolts.

Mark the eccentric bolt orientation before you take them off, so you can get the thing back together with the correct camber. (top bolt on the bottoms of the struts )

Better still, get the geometry checked afterwards, as it is much easier to take the struts off and assemble them on a bench in the open using spring compressors than to fool about in the wheel arches. (There's less chance of getting it wrong as well...)

I changed the front dampers on my car (similar job to eibach fitting) in three hours in the rain, so 4 hours seems sensible.

I'm located near Southampton, so if you want another pair of hands email me. Although £50 for not having another job to do may be worth it.
