Default O2 Sensor Help!

So i need new FRONT O2 sensors, and i found some nice guys on here selling O2 sensors, but i have a few questions.

1. Can you use rear O2 sensors for the front without any problems?

2. Found a good deal on Bosch 13111 O2 Sensors, and i know they are rear O2 sensors from a vette, and are used to replace the rear O2 sensors on F-body header installs because of their length. Can i replace my front O2 sensors with the Bosch 13111 rear O2 sensors without any problems?

Looking forward to what you guys have to say, thanks!

Im pretty sure they are all the same. The vette ones are used for the front so you dont have to buy extensions

Buying a used pair of O2 sensors is like buying a used up oil. O2s are meant to be replaced w/ new ones.

I have tried several brands in the last 10 years and I like the standard brand name. The last time I got a set they were still made in the USA read about them here then check with some of the ls1tech sponsors to buy...

PS: I had a really bad experience with bosch
