Do the ITR brembos allow you to fit a thicker disc?

Not a lot .....

Spoons would almost certainly fit, Wilwoods probably wouldn't without spacers and proper Brembos I would doubt very much.

The RSX/DC5 uses exacly the same barake fittings as the S2000 and these cars come with Brembos but I have been told however that these Brembos are not that great.

As long as they are better than std ones thats ok, cos they sure look better too, i cant afford to change wheels as well!

The Brembo are poo! no modulation...

The spoons will fit; you need a 15mm spacer though

We are about to release a new 4 pot and 6 pot

The 4 will fit under the wheel with a 33ox28mm disc without a spacer

Spoon calipers don't fit behind the OEM wheels IIRC. Didn't PJL try them and found they didn't fit?

Personally i wouldn't bother upgrading the calipers unless you can fit a bigger and thicker disc. With Ferodo DS2500 pads you get a significant improvement over stock right up until the discs glow red hot. Brake cooling is more of an issue, and the only way you can improve that (excluding cooling ducts) is by fitting bigger discs. (or drilled ones, but they'll crack. even the spoon ones)

I know from racing that there are Brembo's and then Brembo's if you get my point? Are they any better than stock as they surely are just production quialty calipers??

A full Wilw0od kit doesn't cost that much and I would expect that would fit with 5mm spacers.

These are as good as OEM but will fade less on track days. Also cool down a lot quicker than OEM.
