Did you found you had more on-power steering with a free turning diff?
Lifting the inside rear tire in a corner (with a FWD Mini) isn't necessarily a bad thing. As long as the outside front is firmly planted and the inside front isn't diffing out you are getting the best weight transfer possible. I've got extra hard springs on the front and hard springs on the rear (no roll bars at either end) and I still lift the inside rear on hairpins.
