For optimal road driving, you want 1.5 deg negative camber at the front with 0.5-1 deg at the rear.

 

If you do a Google search for Classic Mini negative camber, I'm sure there will be lots of results. Have a look in the Mini Stance thread, too.

I'd say those figures need to be the other way around

1.8 degrees front camber, 3.7 degrees caster.  Rear is .75.  I need to take a little bit of front camber out because it is wearing quickly on the inside.
