Setting Up A Floyd Options

[dcz702]

i like to do my own set ups, ive done 2 of my guitars and they are all set up nicely, after my set ups i brought them to a guiatr tech who did my first set up on my first guitar and while he did it i watched while he explained, very nice of him i should say, and he said that they were set up great and looks like i have no need to use a tech as far as basic adjustments to neck, bridge, and intonation.
now i got a new guitar with a floyd wich i have never worked with, and its got 9's on it right now, i got a pack of d'addario 11-49 that i want to put on and have the guitar tuned a step down in D and drop C.
also i was wondering do you guys prefer for drop C 10's with heavy bottom think there like 52? 11-49 seemed like a good choice. but i though light on the high stings would be better for solo work with heavy bottoms to keep the tension.
so as for as setting up with a floyd how should i go about this. how many springs should i have on it? there is a extra spring in the bag and with heavier strings seems like i should use it.
this is the angle the floyd is at right now. is this the right angle for it? and also im debating string gauge right now im really thinking of putting on 10-52 instead of 11-49 but ill wait for some suggestion before i start my set up so i only do it once
