New Ski Setup?

so I'm buying skis for next season right now (deals) and was wondering if this setup would work well together. I was going to pair 2018 Line Honey Badgers(166cm) with 2018 Marker Griffon 13 B110 bindings. Are these bindings the right size for the ski and are the skis the right size for me? I'm 5'6 (probably 5'8 next winter) and around 120 pounds. I'm not gods gift to park skiing, but I ski pretty aggressive.

Any insight?

Skis will be too short and brakes too wide

I can do a 172 if necessary, but I prefer a shorter ski. As for the brakes, I can bend them to length or just replace them.
 
Agree with above-you need the 172cm length at least and about a 90-95mm brake width. Corbetts.com has the 2018 Honey Badgers on for $269.99 Canadian and the Head Attack2 13 binding in a 95mm brake which is a better binding than the Griffon on for $137.99 Canadian with free shipping. Great deals!

If you're growing to 5'8" 166 will be ridiculously short. And you can't bend brakes to be narrower, it's possible but there's 0 reason to do it when narrower brakes are available.

I have a great deal on the bindings so I'll probably swap brakes. and yeah, 172 probably seems the way to go. thanks for the help!
