Advice: Bindings for Trouble Makers?

Hey, I just ordered a pair of Dynastar Trouble Makers in a 155 (only $270 brand new!). Now I need to get bindings. Any advice on decent bindings for these skis? I of course don't want to spend a lot, but need something decent.

I read somewhere that somebody had issues w/ the brakes "catching" as you ski w/ the TM skis. Must have been their bindings and I wish to avoid that happening.

The Sidecut is 112-78-102 tip to tail, and as I said these are 155 cm skis. They're not fat skis but not skinny so I need a wider binding maybe.

As for my info: I'm an intermediate skier pushing to be advanced and I'm a lightweight at 115 lbs and 5'3". I think my din is a 5.

Thanks for any advice,

I reccomend either of the above as well. Slightly biased towards the looks though. Check out rei-outlet for a good deal on the look p10's

You don't need fat brakes.

You don't need any particular binding.

I love my TroubleMakers.

NO question, you need Look Pivots. If you're not a heavyweight the P10s will do. REI has them on sale for $99, check it out.
Don't waste your time with Salomon or any other trash, you need Looks.

the trouble maker bindings are the P12 jib. only difference is they have a pad on the bottom to help reduce vibration from jumps. the binding is very good, it has 25mm vertical travel to elimate vibration and shock.

The TMs that I bought from Dewey this summer have Looks on them. They have regular brakes on them and clear the ski no prob, however my knee went before I had a chance to give them a try on snow.
