Trem Claw Setup axis

[BoardMonster]

Hey guys I've go a quick stup question, I recently made the jump from 9's to 19's on my SS AXIS (strat style trem). I tightened the trem claw screws (three springs) a bit and now have the bridge sitting level with the strings on, but when I bend the low E 1 1/2 steps up and above the bridge bends forward(this also occurs on the A & D strings but in decreasing strength). Is this Normal for strat style bridges or do I need to tighten the screws a little more?

it's normal~ but if it bugs you you can tighten the screws a few more times to stop the "pitch bends" from happening,i prefer it so it DON'T move when bending but it also requires more pressure to use the trem so it's a trade off.While playing things with bends it tends to work better for me if I don't have to overcompensate for the pitch lowering due to the string/spring moving.
