How to Adjust Angle of Lo-Pro


So I have a Lo-Pro trem and I just put .010s on it. Apparently it had .009s before the change. The trem seems to dive towards the bridge pickup. I tried to tighten the screws in the spring cavity, but they are tightened all the way in. What can I do so that I can level the trem out?

Quickest fix would be to throw another spring in there.

Change the spring pattern from running parellel to an arrow shape.

i always wanted to know if changing the position of the springs would affect the tone... does it?

Tone not really...but feel yes; especially when bending and flutter as well.

Not as big as the difference with four springs though.

@AKMG You should be able to adjust for 10s using three springs, the smooth part of the screws can go into the wood too. The difference between 9s and 10s is no more than 2-3mm.
