Default Labor time for springs/shocks?

How much time should it take a professional shop to do race springs and shocks on 03 a4 qt? I used to do these myself on other cars using a lift and it did not take too long. I just had a shop tell me it would take them at least 8 hours at $105/hour. That sounded nuts to me! Not so much the rate but the time. What say you?

The time and rate are BS. 4 hours is typical if they've done it before and can get the devil bolt out. $105/hr is excessive.
