If you are referring to the springs for the tremolo you have a few options but it really depends on what you are looking for.

for example using only 3 springs (one space between left middle and right will allow for more of a dive bombing effect but you'll probably have severe tuning issues (in my experience anyway). You can also use 4 springs (no middle spring) which is a little more tension but still give you the ability to bend. I found this to be a pretty descent approach but because of tuning problems I usually ended up with 5 springs and tried to keep decent tension on them however, make sure your six screws for the saddle are not all the way down. You want enough play so you can still bend "both ways."

You have to experiment until you find what works best. You might want to find a good guitar tech and have it professionally set up if you aren't comfortable. Good luck
