Not sure what brakes will fit behind the oems 17s (MY04)
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.

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)

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.
