If I had the choice, I'd get a swap without hesitation. You have the opportunity to get some real power from your car with a swap. Plus, you'll end up with an engine that has no more than 50k on it.

i'd go with the suspension. your engine will last a lot more than 120k. make sure you get some adjustable shocks

personally i wouldnt wait for your engine to die and swap it because, especially with a honda, that could be a while. 120k really isnt that much. if you want to go with some mild moding id say replace some small internals first like valve springs, maybe a head gasket (mainly things that are imfamous of going first), than after that mod away.i say hit up new headers or cat back or intake/ intake manifold. or if your looking for some serious hp you might want to replace some more serious internals then maybe go with a turbo or supercharger. either way, i think a swap would be a bad idea because it wouldnt be nessisary for a while, then when you do it it will really pricey for not a whole lot more hp than what you already have (depending on the swap).
