sth16 would be great for you. as for fks i would try fks 150s if you can find them. look p18 (race binding same as fks) would also be good. or jesters

yeah i agree the fks bindings are bomb. You could probably even pass with the sth 12's and save some money. The look px 12's and big trouble bindings also rock. Anyway I don't think you can go wrong.

well i always like my 5 star binders, mead makes some good ones too, unless you plan on doing some homework when your at the mtn i dont know why you really need a new binder to go with your new skis.


sorry one of the terms i HATE when its used,  its bindINGS is it that much harder to type 1 more letter?

I agree with going with the STH Binding. If you can get an FKS that is great, but the new STH Binding is better than the new SAS2 Binding

your probably not going to need your din above 12 so if you want to save money then i would go with cheaper bindings that still get up to 12 din and you can just do that. plus the cheaper bindings weigh a little bit less.

No, but mine are also drilled into metal.  I think I'd break the screw heads off or rip the acual binding apart before they pulled out. 

If your DIN is at 7 you probably don't need STH 16's or FKS though, save yourself some money and get px12's or something.
