I still think the GM 02's are better, but that's my opinion.

I had bosch sensors flatline at 1500 miles. Great warranty though I exchanged the used pieces of **** for nice shiney new pieces of ****. And Bought Denso's and haven't had a problem since.

I've even wire nutted old GM O2's out of random junkyard cars to the f body connector and seen better switching than the bosch garbage.

I got mine from Autozone.
It's weird because the left front is $17 more than the right front, the only difference is wire length.

I had to get mine at sparkplugs.com They main thing that hurt my o2s was a pesky leak near the collector. But it happens. I run the vette rears bcause the longer wire. I think the malibu has the same leanth. They all are a 4 wire O2. The DENSO suppsed to be better at self cleaning. On my Bocsh I opened up the Slits around the element. I have Densos still. They both have worked fine for me. But Im N/A.

BUy the bosch 13111 they are the rear 02s for a ls1 corvette. They have the longer wires and in my opinion work the best for me.

Bosch sesnors do not work in my car for some wierd reason, they won't allow the engine to run. It stalls and sputtwers and bucks like its gonna fall out of the engien bay.

GM AC Delco sensors are all that work for me.

i went with bosch sensors, and pep boys have a lifetime warranty with their sensors. I have problems with burning up o2's so everytime it happens just take them in and get a new set!

i have been through 2 sets of stockers, and now a set of the bosch, which might explain why i run open loop now.

I've run Bosch sensors and never had a good experience with them...I've run Delco's and had good luck with them lasting a while and having decent longevity...and now I'm running NTK's and I REALLY like them. They seem to respond sooner on a cold start, they show excellent switching characteristics, and they've been holding up for a while now...I think I have about 15 or 18K on them and they still behave like they did the day I installed them.
