Rossi and Look stopped making them in 2002 or 2003. Sad thing cuz they were the best and safest binding out there imo.

really? cause i just got my p15's, its the same as the fks 155, they only bring a few into the country each year.  also some shops have them stock piled.  saw a set of fks 155's up at one of the shops on the access road to sugarbush last year.

Yeah they stopped making them like a year or 2 ago. There still pretty easy to find, but they're not being produced anymore.

The advanced searchbar is a good place to start, under forums, type in fks 155 and a number of threads appear, click and bam bindings for sale

you would be better with the 155s

Assuming type 3 skier, On the 185s, a shop would set you at 8.5 which would be ok, but isn't ideal..at that extreme of the DIN range, they will function fine but there would be a margin for error that is more pronounced than if you were set more in the middle on the spring range

Keep in mind that the spring in the look race series bindings actually gives you a din of about +1-+2  on the low end compared to what other companies would give you. thats why on the new bindings they changed the din range from 10-18 on the 18 and 8-15 on the 15. IT is the same spring as before they just put a different number on the top. So yea, keep in mind that while an fks 155 or look p15 says 6-15 on the din range it is more inline with an 8-15, and the p18 is more in line with a 10-18 din binding.
Fun fact.

He did not post a cheap pair, if it was sub $150 then yes I would agree with you. but $190 for fks 155's is really not that good of a deal, especialy when you realize you have to pay to ship a pair of skis that you really don't know. And 200 for used P18s is not great either, as shown by the failure to sell.
