Rsx type s rotors and calipers bolt up s2000 rotors are not the same. They are thicker have a diffenrce hub bore and offset they may "fit" but they will not work properly like an rsx type s rotor would. the caliper would be the only thing holding it in place. in Japan they sell a kit to make this work it comes with a spacer/hub ring for the rear as well one for the front it allows use for civic type r brembos which we don't have the brembos from an integra type r which we also don't have but I beleive these are those same calipers but with the Acura name on them
 
I'd also like to point out that Spoon MONOBLOCK's are the same size as the TL-S caliper shown above. That photo is misleading because it's showing the difference between the smaller Spoon TWINBLOCK, not the Spoon MONOBLOCK that's used on our cars. TWINBLOCK's are used to provide clearance on applications that require the use of 15" wheels.

For the record, Spoon MONOBLOCK's clear 16" wheels with the appropriate offset - it's tight, but if it fits. Here's a photo from my own car with 16's;

If that's the case then you wouldn't need s2000 rotors item9 has spoon monoblocks with rsx type s mugen rotors
