Hey so I see that the Salomon Drivers come in a variety of sizes. Bigger is better right for park skiing right? Any useful responses +k
Also if anyone has any other binding (other than FKS out of my range budgetwise) suggestions and reasons why their good +k

by size do you mean brake size? no bigger is not better, buy brakes a tad larger than the waist of the ski. if you mean din range, again, no, bigger is not better, buy a binding according to your skill level and size

Okay if you mean bigger as in a wider brake, no that is not better. You want a brake that will be as close to your sidewall as posssible.
On the other hand, if you're referring to a higher DIN binding, that's also not always a good thing. You should choose a binding based on your weight and skiing style, otherwise you're putting your knees at risk.

I read the post about the din setting already. So basically in the middle the t-halls are 87mm correct(http://armadaskis.com/product/skis/thall/) getting them in 181. So i should probably get the bindings in a 90mm size?

Or 80 right because I can't get them larger

If you get the 80 you could bend them slightly and they would work.

Well I was just wondering if it was possible to get them in a size that is larger than the middle of the ski (90mm on an 87mm center)

Yes, you can go larger, a 90 would be perfect. You just don't want to go way wider, say 110mm, or else the brakes will drag on turns

Final Question are they that much better than say a marker griffon?

If the DIN range is right for you, yes they are. I have Griffons, which i love, but the STH series is more durable.
