sorry to go against your request to not recommend our own ski's...but in the range of 160 cm ...one of my Friends has a pair of 161 Salomon 1080's and S810 ti bindings that are brand new...they'll work pretty good for you..

At 5'8, you want 160's? nononono, if you must have shorter skis, get 168 scratches. 160 is too damn short.

How tall doesn't matter. At only 105 lbs, 160s are the way to go. Anything longer than that is too much ski.

Get some Mad Trix 162s from last year or some PEs. If you are only going to be skiing in the east, make sure you get a stiffer ski to handle the hard snow conditions. This is getting a bit long, but 165 Concepts would be good for that.
