Agree with MDTM - I bought a pair on his recommendation.  I asked seller to supply FAI ones, which he did.

My MV6 is still on original droplinks at 150k, if the history is to be believed (and the history of it is very good)...

Tractor wrecked its ones at 125k, and the 2nd hand replacements about 3k later ::) (they were removed from another car as knackered!).  No earlier history for tractor.

What prob do you think ive got TB? Its done 104000 (service history to prove) & its had new wishbones,dampers,springs, but not anti roll bar bushes nor a full geometry check could this have any effect?

Really not sure.  I would expect them to last nearly as long as wishbones etc.

My 2nd set of wishbones on MV6 didn't last long, but may be an issue with original fitting (before I found the forum)  :'(

I've just seen ho does the lover wishbones too, so I think i'll probably just buy DL's and wishbones and do the whole lot in one hit for the money - superb!

(i'm still getting over how cheap these spares are in comparison to honda stuff!)

If you can afford to wait, then do so Mike ;)
