Very easy.
Just need a socket set and spring compressors.
Oh, and a jack and axle stands/blocks of wood.

Very true, keep a set of imperial spanners to hammer onto rounded bolts

Took me six hours but there's a reason for that - had to swap bushings over on the rear struts
Putting brand new rears on tonight and fronts Saturday, will see how long it takes

I would rather lose by a mile because i built my own car, than win by an inch because someone else built it for me.

Reporting back, took me roughly an hour to do the back, but that includes jacking it up and packing stuff away etc

We both do it about the same speed then mate
Fronts are easier imo as it's all in once piece each side, the only tricky bit is getting the bottom part into the thing it bolts on to
