Okay I'm having secon thoughts, I ordered the recoils (actually a 90 width) also some fks 140s with 90 mm breaks to mount on the recoils. Will my shop be okay with mounting them? Since like they will probably have to bend te brakes a bit, is this okay?

The amount of bending you will have to do will be minimal. From what I've heard bending them a little is no big deal and is pretty common with skis that don't match perfectly with brake sizes.

In my experience if the brakes are marked as 90, it doesn't mean that they are 90 mm wide but that they fit skis that are 90 mm wide. My guess is you won't have to bend them at all. I have FKS's with 115 mm brakes on my 118 mm wide Line Opus, no bending was needed.

For what it's worth, I have 90mm wide FKS brakes that were mounted on a pair of skis that are 110mm wide at the waist with very minimal effort. I've had no problems.

Nope. I have two pairs of them (actually the Look version, Pivot 14. same thing as FKS 140), on my park skis and pow skis. Oh BTW, my park skis are Line Chronics (93 mm) and the 90 mm brake fits. Zero issues with the bindings.
