Once the suspension is out of the car, it's no big deal. They are a standard coil over spring setup the only parts thats even slightly difficult is taking the old spring out because it's under load. So you use a spring compressor then take the hat off the strut and slowly let out the spring compressor and pull out the spring after. Because Eibach are lowing springs, they take no compression at all (or not much) to install and you can put the new springs in easier than the old ones come out.

I have never re-re'd the suspension in a Boxster, but I can't see it being an 8 hour job. I have done some really messed up cars before and finished them in say 4 hours tops having never done it. The only problem I can see with the boxster is getting to the bolts that hold the top of the strut down, but if guys can install strut bars in an hour or so it can't be that hard to get the suspension out.
