Any 18 DIN binding, ask a shop tech what DIN he should actually ride at though and have him test it for you cause bindings can sometimes be different then the number on the chart or even on the dial. I've seen two of the exact same bindings, but one acted as a 8 DIN on 7 and one acted as an 8 DIN on 8 - it depends on the springs and what not.

i actually had that today. before we send skis out at our shop, we do a "quality control" check, basically to make sure our techs didnt fuck up. and the guys binding were at a 6 on one, and a 7 on the other.

Tyrolia Peak 15/18 and it's cousins (Head Mojo 15/18, 4Frnt Deadbolt 15/18, Amplid 0ne.8/F.T.F, etc).  Burly and reliable.
