Default new car or engine swap?

hey guys..im stuck..i have some springs that i havent put on yet and they 92-95 civic. well i want a dohc vtech car but i dont want to sell my new springs. do you guys think i should:
1) Save up money and buy an engine swap.
2) Buy another 92-95 civic with engine swap already done.

im guessing its about $5000 for a b18c1 engine swap for my civic hatch. but for that i could just go get another car that has a b18c1 or and integra gsr!
help me out guys. thanks.

get a QUALITY car that has already been done. That way, you can test drive, look over, and feel the performance of the engine/car together. Be cheaper this way and the work has been done.

Some may say, "well that's the fun part- dropping in the engine." Well, take a weekend off, pull the engine, detail the engine bay and put it back in

I still don't see what springs have to do w/getting a new car, and a b18c1 is an integra GSR. But anyways, if you want a new car just save your money and buy one with a swap done. It's the easiest way, and you know what you're getting.
