Never get used O2 sensors. If your car is 96+ it should be a 4 wire. If you get on 02 get oem those universal bosch 02's dont work well all the time.

Buy 2 Upstream Universal sensors and 2 Downstream Universal sensors.

The go here for a detailed tutorial.
(it's for the LS but the procedure is almost identical)

NEVER! I REPEAT, NEVER BUY USED O2 SENSORS!!!!

And there's absolutely no need to pay the $400 for OEM Densos.
