you need 94+ teg rear trailing arm assembly with the e-brake cables and brake lines(rubber). I did a set a couple of years ago and they ran me $50 a side(from a honda junk yard) and then I got new pads and rotors. I think it cost me like $200 all said and done. Watch out though cause if you need new calipars they run like $80 a side. I can't remember if the stock(civic) rubber brake lines will work. I just used the teg lines cause they were on my assembly and were in good shape.

You can also use the trailing arm/hub/brake assembly from a '92-'95 Si hatch or del Sol Si or VTEC.

if you do lots of drag racing then drums in the rear are better b/c they weigh much less...less weight means lower times

It will be a lot easier to find a teg set-up unless you got a honda/acura junk yard around you. I got a nice honda junk yard near me and they don't got any del sols, but the got about a million integras. And any junk yard guy knows what a Integra is.... when you start talking trim levels, Vtec, si, etc. you loose them.
