I, like Robert, prefer my 2 points to float, and the 6 point vintage to be flat.

BTW i never had this trouble until i switched fomr ernieball regulars (.10-.46) to skinny top and heavy bottoms (.10-.52) after that i noticed it does come up but extremely litle. Sorry about stealing the topic but its close to my situationa s wella swe both own the same type of guitar.

The higher string tension is stretching your springs farther than usual. BTW, I keep my six point strat floating about 1/8". I also back off my middle four screws quite a bit, in effect making my six point trem into a two point. I also took a countersink bit to the screw hole to make a knife edge on them.
