like they have said, search is ur friend but ill help anyways.
you need to get the complete rear trailing arm off of a 00 civic si or 94-01 integra. u can also use the DA integra rear trailing arm but i wouldnt recommend unless u plan to replace TA bushing and the rear hub/bearing assembly cuz of the age of the RTA. what ever TA's u get i reccomend to replace the TA bushings.
you will also need the brake lines and e-brake cables. if u do use the DA trailing arm u need to keep ur LCA's. I replaced everything while i was at it, rotors,pads, LCA, TA bushings. if u have any more questions i can send me a PM and ask me.

just for some extra insight you do not have to replace the rear trailing arm (although it is easier) the disc assembly rear spindle will bolt to the drum trailing arm. however the whole spindle needs to be swapped by removing the 5 or 6 star drive bolts and the spindle nut that holds it to the trailing arm. this method may be preferred because most people replace the compensator arm and throw out their tow settings. i have ran into this problem because the rear discs i purchased ended up being slightly bent on one side and the tow could not be adjusted any more i did not realize this till i had an allignment done months after my purchase so i replaced the bent arm with my factory drum rear trailing arm.

this is true and it is much easier than replacing the whole trailing arm.

tow: To draw or pull behind by a chain or line: a tugboat towing a barge. See Synonyms at pull.

I wonder how you can adjust tow on a car...
