the orange things are not shock absorbers. there 1 mm lifters you cannot mount without, the track that that binding goes on is like .75 mm and you cant slide your heelpiece on without the extra bit of hotsauce.SO the track is to low for the heelpiece without that riser.

i think what its actually supposed to be is a big waterproof washer that sits around the bottom of the binding so they dont vibrate against your skis.

elsewise as soon as your binding came the slighest bit loose from your skis it would just rub and rub all day riding.

get at the very least 177's.

you could rock the 186's EASY.

if you get the 167's after 1 season of skiing you'll want new skis, and they are gonna suck for hitting jumps. Might as well get smoe snowblades at your size.

177 cron wide.

Bro, do yourself a favor, sell those and buy a pair of used skis in the 180-190 range. I'm 5'7 135lbs and I'll be on 180s next year.
