Don't you have to adjust the springs or something? To compensate for the difference in string tension?
I apologise that i can't elaborate, fixed bridge for me at the mo  |

Hehe, all comes from here  Just flip your guitar over, arm yourself with a screwdriver, and open up the backplate, so you can get to the cavity where the floyd rose resides, and i think there are some screws (possibly thumbscrews) that you can adjust. You want to tighten the springs so the saddle moves back to a 'central' position
EDIT: check this out, i think its what you're looking for |
