do you think it would be okay to put fks 120s on my lizzies?  im pretty small 5'4" 110.  im just worried about ripping them out.

you may have trouble with bending brakes but i wouldn't worry too much about them ripping out

see that was my reasoning too. I wasn't sure how frequent the rip outs are but i assumed at 5'4 on a 12 din he would be light enough

No, don't ever heli-coil holes to begin with.
A maple core ski with FKS shouldn't be a problem for a lightweight, especially if he isn't skiing them really high.
The issue is that people tend to crank bindings up higher than they should, and instead of the binding letting go of the boot, the ski lets go of the binding.

No don't do it they will automatically rip out, you should only mount Line Reactors because Lines were made to work with Line bindings...seriously dude they are bindings. Don't worry about it and just do it. Sick binding and sick ski.

i have that and its fine, you can bend the brakes easy enough or you can leave them alone. just becareful when you are putting your skis on over exposure

Didn't you already have deadbolt 412's on there? If so.. why are you replacing them with an FKS.. that will have brake issues?
