Hey guys, i have absolutely no experience with floyd rose bridges, but was wondering how do you restring it so the bridge stays down and the action stays low. i recently got it fixed and the guy who fixed it strung it up so the action is nice and low and the bridge was level to the guitar (making the whammy bar easier to use) but when i chucked on some new strings recently the bridge is at an awkward level (kinda like this / ) and the action is very high for lead up the fretboard.
Any pointers would be greatly appreciated.

Did you use different gauge strings? that might have something to do with it.
Anyway, open up the back of your guitar and use the springs in the back to level out the bridge.

most likely its the gauge of strings you are using or if you arent already change the strings one at a time so the bridge stays level
