i think all they had were the bosch brand

Well i got them in, and in my opinion it def. runs better up top, but it seems like 2000 rpms and below its not near as smooth or peppy? the idle seems to be a little better, but im gonna let it cool off for a cold start cuz thats when i really notice the rough idle.
idk im gonna run them through tom. , and if it doesn't seem better i'll pick up a set or truck syle ones and see if there better.

They are $69 each here at autozone. Thats a good price for two.

O2 sensors don't take any time to break in, but if the old ones were lazy and the new ones are working properly, the PCM is learning and adjusting.

$78 is an awesome deal! Sounds like they only charged you for one

If it doesn't clean up, the idle and low rpm range that is, try disconnecting power and resetting the PCM. That could help.

the bosch sensors I have read very bad things about. Most say they are garbage.

Denso or OEM is the way to go.
