I believe you have to connect them to the front ones because those are the ones that measure your A/F ratio and give feedback to the PCM if it is running lean or rich. The rear 02s are for emissions purposes only. As for which ones to use I would just go with the original.

Yep use any 2 sendors that suit you and hook them to the front harness points. You'll need wiring extensions to do this and your check engine light will be on due to the rear ones not working.

If you aren't getting a tune, just have another set of bungs welded on and then plug all 4 sensors in.

This is an old thread but if you havnt fixed your rear O2 sensor problem I will sell you my simulators. I never even used them because I got mine tuned out a week after I bought them...
