Low E String detunes when using Tremolo Bar

Hi !
Last year I bought a Ibanez RG1570 with a Edge Pro Brigde . After changing strings ( I put a new set of strings, where the low E is thicker than the previous one , I think it is 0.46 but I am not sure about that ) , I had to setup the bridge accordingly, thigtening the springs in the back of the guitar, in the neck direction, to make the bridge paralell to body of the guitar. Everything is ok, but now i am having another problem. Since i have thigtened the springs, when I use the tremolo bar for big dive bombs for example, my low E string detunes half step down . Also I notice that my tuning is not very stable . Maybe it has something to do with not having setup the intonation yet :sad:
Any advice ?

Thanks,
Ivam

that is the most likely the culprit... if all else seems to be in-tuned after doing dive-bombs, then only the low E saddle needs to be adjusted. Since you're already intonating the low E, doesn't hurt to check the rest of 'em just to be perfectly safe :)
