firsth of all i have a euro spec CRX, is this the same as the Si? because i have reare brake disc, but i need bigger.

so i fond out that a big brake kit from Wilwood is the solution in the front and rear ITR discs, so is the ITR caliper any more powerfull?
 
The ITR caliper is larger, along with the rotor. The increased thermal mass of the rotor will give you more repeatability and heat dissapating capacity and the larger pad surface area will yield more braking torque. But remember, you can only brake as hard as your tires can stick.
 
Well piston area is not necessarily the definition of "better braking". Yes, there is larger pad to rotor contact area, so yes, the brake system could generate more baraking torque. Also, you have to take into consideration master cylinder size in relation to caliper piston size, since a caliper with more piston sorface area will affect pedal travel.
