Default Need to redo front end, got any ideas?

ok so some drunk driver crashed right in front of me and i ended up clipping him.

so far it looks like my rack and pinion is bent and my control arms too. Since i have to replace those and probably alot of other things... i was wondering if i should just swap out the front suspension from and integra? Anybody know how easy this is and maybe prices for the parts?

Also, will this mean that i will springs and struts for an Integra also? If it makes a difference, im also planing on swapping a b18 in soon.

oh, and its also very hard to find a crx as clean as mines in hawaii so please dont tell me to look for another one... it would take me forever to find one in good condition and would probably cost about $5000

The swap itself is easy, just unbolt the old and put the integra stuff on, you'll probably need to replace the balljoints upper and lower, the manual says you have to replace the whole upper arm but a company named Specialty Products makes them for like 30 bucks, i swapped front and rear along with master cylinder, booster, and propotioning valve, throught the process i coulnd't get the fittings on the hard lines to come loose, got pissed and cut them. DON'T DO THIS!! i ended up have to rerun all the lines in the car and it ******* sucked but thats a whole different story. think i paid like 300 for all the teg parts

thanks for the help guys, im leaning toward doing the teg suspension now... did you guys notice any difference in the handling or the steering? of course the braking must alot better what teg's do you use? 90-93 or 94-97?
