All O2 sensors are basically the same. They give a reading to the DME in milli-amps (IIRC) based on the temperature of the cats and the DME adjusts fuel/air mix depending on that reading. The only difference between O2 sensors is the number of wires. I believe they are all the same physical size, but I'd rather be cautious and make sure you check the threads before you just go out and get them. I also bought a Bosch universal sensor from someone on eBay that's made for the Honda Civic for $15. It matches my original sensors too.

Im going to check the other site now. If thety dont try to rip me off I will order from they.
Holy cow! The shipping I paid was around $15. I thought it was high at the time, but still so much less than the regular ones I took the deal. I never checked their MAF price. Is it pretty good too? I paid $245 for an MAF at Sunset so I'm interested in the differences.
