I knew a guy who mixed his salomon s912's, but he wasnt mixing different styles, same bindings but he just kinda mixed the colors of the toe/heel piece.  Worked out fine for him, but again it really wasnt a style issue...

Would you have an issue with ramp angle with the axial 100 toe?

well it really depends on which fks heel you are talking about. if its like the 18 or 15, the lowest dins are like 10 and 8(correct because i think i am wrong) where that is the highest din on the 100 toe. you kinda want to be in the middle of the din range. and you want the dins in the heel and toe to be the same, people think that it doesnt matter but i does

I would avoid doing so, unless they are the exact same construction and design. Binding heel pieces are designed with a certain toe piece, and they are meant to work togeather. The P-12 race toe (same as fks) is in fact different from the regular p-12 toe. So be careful. Also keep in mind most shops won't do it for you.
