Im looking for some bindings. Nd I dont really know that much about it. Im looking for a safe durabilty one for not that much money. I weigh about 155-160... I got some deals here but i dont know what the difference is between the 110 nd the 120... Nd could someone also explain to me what the DIN thing is exactly...

DIN is like an index that describes how much the binding woll retain u in the course of a fall. aka, the higher the DIN, the less likely u will come out of your bindings.
i would reccomend this years scratch 120, solid binding that isnt to expensive. and it comes with the wide brake, a nice plus.

^You are talking about the 120? Why would they be too small? Its a scratch binding...? Like its designed for the scratch right? Why wouldnt it fit then?

How much wider are the wrs compared to last years scratches cause I have last years with regular brakes and its fine
Din is the release number. When buying a binding your goal is to have that number in the middle of the bindings din cause that when it has the most consistant release. So 160lbs would be about a 6-8 din and 120's are 4-12 i believe so that should be perfect.

If you have a choice, that is probably the binding you want. You'll want to consider the 140 if you set your DIN higher than 10, but for most people the 120 works really well.

It all depends on how aggressively you ski and where you do it. I weigh 160 and I just ski around the mountain and have my bindings at 8-9 depending on the ski and conditions and I have 12, 13, and 14 DIN bindings. What do you have the bindings on your current skis set at?

I'm putting some Salomon Z12s on mine - pretty much the lightest set-up you can get...

yeah, go with a look or rossi, good quality bindings, and not that expensive. do NOT get salomons, unless you get a killer deal on them. from personal experience they are not safe bindings by far
