Agreed! :)

Couple of ideas come to mind. First is to raise the bridge to where it should be for your action and shim under the back of it to make it "flush". Put all the springs you have on it and make the whole thing stationary.

Second idea is to block more it from underneath. Google blocking a trem.

If your trem is anything like my Schaller Floyd Rose, intonation is a b*tch! You have to almost (or actually if you have not enough slack) unstring it. Move your saddle to your best guess, then tune back up (including all the fun tuning that a floater entails). Repeat until you get it right.

Stew Mac sells a device to help intonate your Floyd Rose saddles without practically dismantling your guitar. It locks on so you can adjust it like a tom. Supposedly EVH-inspired. http://www.stewmac.com/shop/Tools/Special_tools_for:_Bridges/The_Key.html?actn=100101&xst=3&xsr=16919

Making it into a hardtail might be fun reno project if you are prepared completely refinish your guitar.....?
...so ever since then, I always hang on to the buckle.
