Complete rear trailing arms from a 94-00 integra or a civic. You need the ebrake lines preferably from a 99-00 Si as well and new hydraulic lines as well. Might as well switch the front and rear to stainless lines while you're down there. I recommend goodridge lines or anything that is stainless and has an extra rubber exterior over the lines.

I did this earlier this year, and to be honest there's no performance gain to be had. It is easier for maintenance and looks marginally better. Until I switch to EP3 rear rotors and RSX rear brakes you can't really see the tiny integra rear brakes behind my volks anyway. So you'd really need to put some big brakes back there to notice anincrase in performance. And even for performance reasons drums have less unsprung weight and therefore are generally better for autocross, etc.
