But, can I bend the 95 brakes to fit a 106 ski.

I know I could buy a firm snow ski, but we don't have a ton of firm snow at stevens

Not unless you want your brake arms to look like this over your skis: / \ Look brakes break before then bend.

I have been very happy with the Pivot 15s. The small amount of extra work in getting the heel piece aligned is not issue compared to the benefits of the beefy binding.

I Ski the Dynastar freeride 108 with the look pivot 15 GW binding. The ski brake is a 115 brake, I couldn't get the smaller brake because it wouldn't fit. Granted I am a tight skier but I had a few really bad issues with the brake size on the ski. A few times, my inner ski brakes got caught together. When they caught, I would fall forward. One of the falls was in the woods a steamboat. Pretty scary when you can't get them unhooked. my local ski shop was able to fix them, they put the narrower binding on and bent it out.

Fortunately, I have not had this issue with the 115 brakes on the Wildcat 108s. I learned to ski with a very narrow stance, but I have worked to get it a bit wider. I also think my boots would touch before my brakes. I do have pretty big boots at 28.5.

...and your brakes are further back on the ski where the tail is fatter.
