thx U a lot...

Your welcome.

You want the system to be in a neutral or floating position. Which would parallel/level with the body. Here's a site that will explain a floating system.

Setting up a Floyd Rose

thx U, great site.. it is to bad that i can't copy n pate them.. :(
oh ya, how about my first question:
what are the disadvantages if i set my floating bridge way up high like in the picture in there ( the way outa wack picture )? thx U

The bridge doesn't come back to a floating position. which means there is always tension on the springs and it may not come back to the same place every time after you use it. Each time a tremolo is used it must return to the exact same location in order for the instrument to be in tune. Also the higher the strings the more the string stretches when you fret a note or chord the more out of tune it wil be, along with the bridge moving even higher.

thanx U :)

Thanks for the information. This was exactly what I needed and answers the question I had after changing strings on my Floyd Rose Bridge - and having it lift way up.
