You can get the Legend calipers from a junkyard , and i believe they are better than the ITR caliper .

 

97-01 CR-V, Prelude VTEC share the identical caliper as ITR

 

prelude/crv same caliper as itr, the legend is bigger i think dont quote me.

legend (certain years) is two piston as opposed to 1

If it's just the bleeder screws you could always just replace those instead of new calipers.

 

for the dual pistons... Dual piston calipers came on all 93-95 coupes and 94-95 GS sedans... GL finding them at a junkyard. they're not impossible to find, but they just don't come up that often.

PM me back if you need 2 piston legend calipers

 

I would just use vice grips to remove the stripped bleed screw.

ITR calipers have more clamping force, but IMO Legend calipers offer better modulation and more even pad wear.

I would just stick with the ITR caliper, Honda chose that for the R for some reason?
