Are you using them for gs or slalom? If your only 5'7' 125 then they will work fine for you. I race on volkl 155's for slalom and about 180's for gs.
Talk to your ski coach and ask him.

depends on a whole lot of different things, like what discipline (sl or gs) and the sidecut of the ski and all that. ultimately you'll know if they suck or not. talk to a coach
