I need a rear O2 sensor for my 98s70t5. IPD sells one for $153, FCP Groton has a universal one for $80. Ebay has universal ones for $30. With such a big price difference I'm confused, which one should I get?
Of course I want to save money. Will the $30 sensor (ebay) fit? Will it break in a year? Give bad readings? Is this a part on which I can save money or should I get only the best?
Thanks for your input, guys.

its one of the MOST important sensors. the 80$ universal you can wire into your stock harness but the wires are made from SS and a little more difficult to fuse together than traditional copper wires. Its really going to be up to you which do you feel the most comfortable doing
