I can't really measure the toe out accuratley as my setup guages are a bit big for the mini's width, but I shortened the turnuckles up a couple of turns each side over the stock set up. Everything else on the car is standard, except for a set of CVA shocks from a TA05 (with spacers under the piston and short springs to reduce ride height).
Are you sure you're running toe-out? You want a bit of toe-in with the Mini, will help keep it going straight. If you're not running it now, try installing the rear toe in uprights, item #53345. Gives you 2 degrees of toe-in and makes a big difference.
