is it possible to be "too slammed"

thank you all for jumping on this and providing great examples of how this multilink suspension does not preform as good when it is slammed below a certain point without significant adjustments, i feel that there are alot of misconseptions about what is good versus good looking for a cars suspension and it is one of the areas that i do the most research on

decreased suspension travel and incorect camber curves seem to be the enemy here as well as there being parts that are pushed to the limits being that low. im currently working on making the suspension of the car react the way i want it too and i continualy adjust and test various things on my suspension, although i have not made the jump yet to aftermarket uprights and spindles i feel that will be next on the list

maybe somebody could post a pic of a ride height along with alignmet specs on a set up that seems good for them, id also like input from you all on my curent specs to see if i can get any suggestions to go in the right direction

front:

camber: -5.5 (i feel that this is way to much my best set up seemed to be at -2.5)
caster: 8.0* (i noticed that when i increased it the steering became much more sensitive the higher the speed increased)
toe: (oem spec, project silvia tie rods lowered it somewhat to try to eliminate bumpsteer)
SAI (18.6*, this is what creates that self steer affect is it not?)

rear:

camber: (-2.5*, ive always had it at around this much ive consittered decreasingthe camber to 2.0* or maybe less, oppinions?)
toe: (for drifting im thining .5* toe in)
thrust angle: (-.04*, i dont know how to really read or adjust this measurment.)

once again, thanks for looking and responding
If you know that thread exists you should post this question there, you will get a lot more help.
