Default O2 Question

Guys I have a question. I have a buddy with a '99 TA and he keeps losing O2's on the passenger front. He'll replace it and about 150-200 miles later it starts to read dead and throws a light. Its done that about 3 times now and now it just did it to both fronts at the same time. What things could cause this, and what maybe possible ways to fix it. He has LT's on the car and none of the wires are touching anything and they appear to be all good. My main concern is the car won't pass smog with this code(s) Any help would be awesome. TIA

Sounds like hes running to rich and fouling the O2 sensors, take it to a wideband and see what the A/F is.
