the mini comes with positive amber to start with, the only way u will get more caster is to shorten the tie rods or change the hubs.

as i remember it should b about2 degrees positive camber so i though to get rid of it il get some -2 degree ones but now they are compleetly the other way, makes the car much quicker exiting corners, got play around abit with the castor though now iv got ajustable rods

if you can afford it, it would be worth getting your car properly set up by a race garage, as you'll never quite know where your supension is if you just do it by trial and error.
my mate just paid £150 for a full suspension set up on a hillclimb/sprint mini, that included castor, camber at the front, camber and toe in at the back, and corner weights all round. this took nearly a full day, so is great value in my mind. most competition garages will be able to suggest good settings for the road, and it will truely transform the handling on your car.
