Default Front oxygen sensors going bad.

Hey, I put longtube Pacesetters on my car about 2 months ago, and now I have to replace my front O2's. Ive seen countless threads of OEM vs Bosch ones, still dunno which ones are better. I already have O2 extensions, so I dont think I need the sensors with the extra long wires. The drivers side sensor is resting against the tranny fluid pan tho, a bit of a tight fit, dunno if theres a sensor out there with a shorter bung or not.

Which oxygen sensors do I need (part number?) and where would they be the least expensive? Autozone and advance are quoting Bosch 13111's at 80 bucks a piece, and I'm pretty sure they can be found cheaper. Any vendors on here have em cheaper?

Thanks in advance.

I bought my 13111s on ebay brand new for cheaper. Gotta hunt around for the really good deals though.

Ebay has em for about 60. If I go with the 13111's though, im gonna have about 2 feet of spare wire, so I might have to nix the extensions and see if anyone else wants to buy em lol.

Right, no need for extensions. You can sell them to offset the cost
