You might want to look at it this way. A mini is front wheel drive. Adding a lot of droop will increase the weight shift to the rear of the car. This is exactly what you don't want in a FWD. You lose front grip. What you're thinking may be just the ticket in a 4WD TC, but not for a Mini.
Here again, just my opinion, but drive out of the corners is an over rated quality. Corner speed is much more important. If you're getting around the corners with good speed, the forward momentum will decrease the tendency for diffing out. If you have good corner speed, ultra tight diffs are not necessary and flat cornering cars w/out aero do not have good corner speed.
