So I got my bindings centre mounted on my new set of twins. I got them set up with my Atomic Hawx boots that are 329mm. I just got a new pair of full tilts that are 326mm, will i notice a difference? Because I'm technically more set forward from centre.

You can adjust them to fit on the back I think

The heel piece slides just fine. Im just wondering if being 3mm forward will hinder the performance of me or the ski.

Your fine, I went from a 27.5 full tilt to a 25.5 and had to remount the back of my fks bindings on a pair of Kartel 96/176 (They might’ve been 171, but idk and don’t feel like checking)

To be honest i thought it actually felt better. I felt like I could pivot faster, but it was probably just the better fitting boots.
so ya ur prolly good

You’re actually only 1.5mm more forward of the mount point. You’re not gonna notice anything :)

If you were a racer you might complain but us humans will not notice at all.

How do you go from a 27.5 to a 25.5?

I got my shoe size based on full tilts boot fitting chart, and they felt good for a season, then the liner packed out. So when I was out on a trip to Big Sky I saw a pair of used Seth Morrison’s in a second hand shop, and snagged em bc they fit so good and they were cheap. The liner was packed out but my foot fit good and snug so that’s all that matters I guess.
so yeah that’s how.
