spring adjustments will have to be made as you tune up as the tension between the springs vs the strings determines the hight of the action.

Take a guess and tune up, you will soon find out how good your guess was and then repeat ad nausium until you get the hight of the bridge right !

FRs are a huge pain to set up and you need to do it every time you change string gauge. Me, I like fixed bridges !
