is the itr trailing arm reinforced as compared to regular integras and EG's? also does it have a more pronounced curve, resulting in the rear wheels being pushed out more?

 

Your best answer would be in cross referencing part numbers for the other cars with the ITR Trailing arm #.

 

The Integra Type R has a wider front and rear track, so the rear trailing arm comes out more. The part number is different. I'm not sure if it's beefier or reinforced. My guess is probably not.

 

ITR trailing arm also has harder bushing already installed in there. The whole trailing arm for ~$150 is a bargain with everything ready to be installed.

Indeed the ITR does have a wider track...but that is NOT because of the whole rear trailing arm. Rather, it's only the spindle that pushes each corner out by 5mm.

Is that new?

If so thats a great deal as Honda has released TSB's about the rear trailing arm bushings on 88-00 civics (also assuming they will bolt up relatively easily to the civic chassis). Good rubber ones like mugen are about 100, poly ones like prothanes are also 100, and to have a dealer replace the OEM units is close to 700

 

just came from the junkyard. the itr trailing arms ARE reinforced. well the 98 spec arms are at least, dunno aout the 96 spec. they have a double walling running along the length of the arm
