Trying to adjust action


i have been messing around with one of my Rg550's (1990)

the action isnt and hasnt been like i like it since i bought this guitar about a year ago

i started lowering the bridge and it bottomed out before it got to where i want it

(trying to match it up with one of my other 550's which has the action i like)

i also noticed that the sttring saddles are all at different positions drastically off from my other 550 and 570.....which have been setup....

i know moving the saddles is going to affect the intonation.

do i need to start all over from scratch to get it straightened out

i havent done this enough to really retain it all

is there any documentation here that i can follow

any help would be greatly appreciated
