What bindings should I get for my ARG's?

They are 135mm underfoot so I need something wide enough

Think I could bend the brakes on my FKS 185 wide brakes enough?

Seen FKS on Hellbents, so you may bet the 18's on there with GREAT difficulty - I'd look into STH16's? I know you can get a 130mm brake for them

i only weigh 150lbs so i put on the Salamon s912ti, it makes for a super light set up and i crank up the dins, i never have a problem ejecting.

you can bend the brakes easily to 135.
But I wouldn't use the FKS, it has a really narrow heel screw pattern so has a higher chance of pulling out, also the FKS is a lot of hassle to get in to when you lose a ski or after hiking in deep snow, it gets under the brake plate and won't allow you to clip in. They will go better on a pair of park skis or something.

Height, weight, BSL and things like that will help with advice, however you mention 185s so I assume you are a fairly big guy and aggressive.

I would recommend the Jester or griffon (wide mount pattern, real good bindings, just depends whether you need a 16 or 12 DIN respectively)
STH 12 or 16, again, bomber bindings it just depends on your DIN range requirements.
Mojo 15s are bomber bindings.
4frnt Deadbolts could work. 6-14.

rossi and dynastar put out a bunch of special edition bindings which are no different, they are just colored like the pair of skis they are named for

Thanks so much, 10 karma. That is true that FKS are hard to put on in deep snow, never thought of that

My 185s are squads, I'm pretty sure the only difference is the color, I think they are meant for their big mountain riders hence the "squad" name.

Any opinions on the Tyrolia Free Flex 17 Plus? I can get a 115mm brake for them so I could probably bend it 20mm more maybe. Are they any good? The din range is 6-17 so it should be good.

FF17 are meant to be solid. There is a Fisher branded version of it too. Those or 916/STH 16 are your best bet.
