Default itr trailing arm beefier?

i was told that the itr trailing arm is reinforced as compared to regular EG trailing arms, and that it has a more pronounced curve, resulting in a wider rear wheel track. can anybody confirm this?

wrong.
actually it is less rigid and can potentially provide a passive steering effect under high cornering loads to allow smoother transitions during cornering.

qwazy huh?

They might have been referring to the ITR rear lower control arms which are significantly different from EG's/other Integras.

actually i was referring to the trailing arm, but i was also wondering about the lower control arm as well. you see im from the philippines and all the civics here use the itr style lca. from what i see in the junkyards here the EG and ITR lca's are the same, its probably just the bushings that are different. i was told that the itr trailing has reinforcements welded on, i'll have to check the junkyards again to verify this
