Default Need Durable o2's

In need of o2 sensors, but which ones? I have gone through a couple sets in a year and a half so i need so durable ones. And Do they sell them with the extensions?

Nope. Go with Bosch 13111. There's postings all over here about using these.

These are from a Corvette. They have a higher wattage heater so they'll run hotter with headers (headers cool the exhaust reducing the O2's usefulness) AND they have nice long cables.

Find them on eekbay starting at 40 bucks.

I'm with 99ssjarhead. Why are you going through O2 sensors like this?

I dont know and plus i dont know which o2's are bad i just know how the car rides when the o2's are crapping out.

So im thinking im gonna try to replace both. So are they the same kind of o2's or are they different part numbers?

front o2's are the same part number.

If possible, after switching them, post pictures of the ends. I'm curious as the only time I had an 02 issue, my end was covered in carbon due to a misfiring problem.
