The same amount of time as without one... only a little more safe because you have flying parts :-)
It all depends on how good you are a taking apart the suspension. I have air tools and everything and have done a lot of suspensions and I can do it in about 2 hours. If its your first time playing with the suspension..... plan on A LOT longer and maybe even having a trusted garage or shop do it for you.
Find the RRM spring install write up they did, it will pretty much be the same steps, and its a great write up. Its somewhere on the Evo M site... possibly in the RRM corner or something like that.

It all depends on how rusted and stubbern bolts are. If all goes well the fronts should take 10min to 1 hour and the rears should take 30min to 1.5 hours.
I would leave yourself 3 hours and do it on a friday or saturday when you don't have much going on the next day incase you run into a problem.

^^ 14mm on upper strut mount, 19mm on lower strut mount. ... REar is 14mm top, and 17mm bottom. 14mm for the sway bar.
You will need a 225 psi compressor to yank em off. Otherwise use a torque wrench, it worked wonders for me, as I only have a 125 compressor... I need a bigger one. Now that I have done this 5 times, yeah i know LOL, its a peice of cake, and i can get the whole car done in about 2 hrs, while drinking beer and smoking cigarrets lol... GL, if you run into any snag, shoot me a PM.
