Default Rear Trailing arm compatability

Hey guys, I searched around and I can't really find anything on this. I also haven't been involved with Honda's in a while, and need help with this. My brother side swiped someone the other day. This bent something in the rear in a very odd position. It was about 30 degrees outward (not camber, but legitimately the wheels was faced as if there was a steering wheel in the back and the wheel was turned). So after looking at it, I think its the rear trailing arm that was bent, does that sound like that would be the solution? I can grab some pictures if need be. But besides that, I need to find out what trailing arm will work. He drives a 99 Civic hatch and it has rear disks. I was looking at the DX/ EX models and they didn't have rear discs, only drums. So would a 99 Si fit on the back? What about a GSR? Any help would be appreciated .

Might as well do a rear disc brake swap while your at it. I swapped integra trailing arms on to my 99 civic hatch years ago. Therefore DC/EK/EG trailing arms are all the same.

Well, the car has rear brake discs is what I'm saying. I need to know what the full trailing arm is from that I need. So I could get a GSR and it would bolt up perfectly?

That's what I used on my 99 civic cx hatch. I remember doing some research before actually buying the disc brakes. I'm sure you could always do a simple search to verify.

Integra/si trailing arms would work, as would ex w/ abs.
