PLus K for any help
I am look to buy some bindings to put on my hell bents (2011 169) and i am willing to spend from 150-250 on a new pair of bindings for them. Also any advice on where i should mount them would also be a huge help i enjoy doing cliffs a lot and i weigh about 140. Thanks a lot!

Griffons, I mounted my 189 hellbents at 8.5 which is pretty center, but I don't like it that much since I have been going over handle bars a lot and face plated. If i would remount I would go to like 6, which is like 2.5 from true center.

If your a bigger guy or a charger get the look/ dynastar px 15s they have the jib or the race, with the metal toe from the fks 155/18, and a solid heel piece. They are stupid cheap on evo right now, like $62 for a bomber ass metal binding. Oh and I hear -2.5 as well

Head mojo 12/ tyrolia peak 12....

Besides the fact that they cost a lot more than the px 15 and px12 at ego's outlet and are more likely to break. They are lighter and prettier though....

If you're doing a LOT of cliffs go 3-4cm back in my opinion, they're so soft in the shovel that if you land forward you'll go straight over the front.

Binding? Probably Griffon with the extra wide brake for ease of fitting. If you don't mind messing around with brakes a bit, FKS140/Pivot 14, or, if they're in your DIN range, those super cheap PX15s someone mentioned.
