I added thicker strings(11's) the other day and my tremolo is now 1.5 centimeters high. Should i just add springs or what? ... ok so I lied when i said 1.5 centemeters, but you get the idea(its higher than I want it).

Yep, you will probably also need a whole setup too.

Were you going from .9's to .11's or .10's to .11's?

1.5 centimeters? That's impossible. It's over a half inch.

I believe it is possible if you have one of the thinner tremolo blocks.....

Add a spring, then try to adjust, if you see that it will take forever to see it move, add another and contine.
Remember, spring first or you'll be there alll day.
