In regards to the M05 setup, my M05 v.2 is setup for mid wheelbase length, running the Blitz Golf GTi shell.
I am also using the 3 Racing gear diff with 100k weight oil in it.
I am currently running 30wt oil all round in my Mini TRF shocks, with yellow springs on the front and white on the back. I use the Tamiya aluminium front shock tower, with the front shock in the middle hole.
I barely run any front toe, but YMMV when it comes to that.
I do recommend going for a Tamiya aluminium steering rack setup in the Mini. It will make a world of different. I use the Tamiya red rubber o-rings in my steering to remove slop, and haven't had any issues there. Most of the Mini lads at Boronia also do the same thing.
I can't remember the weight setup on my car, I think mine is a bit overweight due to me replacing all the Phillips head screws with steel button head/countersunk hex head screws.
I couldn't remember which shell you were using for your M05, the GTi seems to be the flavour of the month due to the monstrous rear wing you get with it.
