Yah, just buy new ones. Go to http://www.thepartsbin.com you can get them there for $37 with free shipping, can't beat that.

Their search only comes up with the Denso brand, which is really expensive, and personally I'd prefer Bosch, here is a direct link to the Bosch O2 sensor you need: Bosch O2 Sensor
