You need more or tighter springs in the bottom if you are gonna be using a different gauge of string and a lower tuning.
And you will need to adjust the tension screw which the springs are attached to. Im sure those links explain it.

And don't take advice from DeathCS. He almost screwed up my guitar by telling me to remove a spring. Fucking idiot.

You're gonna have to adjust the spring tension. You know the two screws in the back of your guitar? If the bridge is going up tighten the tension. If it goes down then loosen it.
