Default where to buy less expensive Oxygen sensor, '95 civic???

I've found that the O2 sensor costs almost $200 from the places online that I usually get my parts. I hope someone can tell me where to go to get one for less than that. I did find a cheap one here:

but it says it's for a B-series engine, and I've got the D.

the first one i bought came from nopi. it was $38 and it was cheaper than the$170 one because it didnt have a connector on it. so any way 4 butt connectors later no more check engine light. but the one from nopi was made by NTK/NGK but its worked good for over 3 years. also you can go to most autoparts stores and tell them you need a universal 1,3,or, 4 wire o2 sensor, and get one that way and just butt or solder the wires together. just make sure it has the correct threads, so take the old one with you.

Both will thread in, just depends how many wires the wiring is on your harness. What model Civic do you have? EX?

A universal from autozone or something should work as well, you just have to wire it up to your harness. BTW the connectors they give you are ****, just solder and heat shrink tape them

Yeah, it's an EX. I'll go check the # of wires. As far as soldering goes, I've read on this forum to NOT solder because it can change the resistances of the wires and wind up throwing the CEL.

Exs came with 4-wire. So any 4-wire will work. But still get one for a D-series because the length might not be long enough. I'm pretty sure D-series O2s (at the exhaust manifold) are quite short though so it still should be fine.
