Oxygen Sensor Options

[Jeffksf]

Got the oxygen sensor done last night. I purchased the Bosch universal one for $60 at Rockauto.com, the direct fit one is listed for $230! THis was the rear after cat sensor. So far the CEL is still off.
I was a little aprehensive about using a "universal" sensor but after this install I would deffienitly use it again. The instructions and wiring splice chart was correct and easy. You basically splice the factory connector on to the new sensor so it plugs into the harness correctly.
Now the real question? How can the sell a universal for $60 and the direct fit one be $230? do you think the factory plug is worth that much? (sarcasim intended)

i bought 2 bosch universal oxygen sensors from rockauto to replace the 2 sensors at the top of the exhaust manifold. now it seems like the 3rd oxygen sensor at the lower side is also spoilt. do you know if i should buy the rear after cat sensor or the front before cat sensor?
