You'll need longer ones for the front, Bosch 13111.

Nah if you have the 02 extensions, then you're good. Just beware the fact that the extensions sometimes make for lazy 02 response...possible SES in your future.

No. I didn't see where you said that. Either extensions + stock o2's or Bosch 13111 will work

I would use rear O2 sensors for headers because they have a higher wattage heater in them for being placed further down the exaust stream
