Blue247carz; Which car are you running? MRE or MSX?
I did the national at Southend last year with my MSX... and for the life of me can't find the setup I used (or any of the other national ones...), still a good starting point would be...

Drive; Spool + Locked centre
Shocks; HPI Blue or Tam Yellow Springs all round 30-35wt oil, 3 hole pistons, Front hole 2 in tower, 3 in arm, rear 4 tower, 3 arm.
Roll bars; Yellow all round
Suspension block; B/XB front, XC/B rear, no shims (although you could also try the now favoured B/A, and XA/D combination)
Camber links; Front 2mm, Hole 3, rear bulkhead 1mm hole 2, rear hub position B, 1mm.
Rideheight, 5.5mm Front, 6mm Rear
Droop; 5 Front, 3 rear (the rear setting is an important one, as otherwise the car will ride the droop screw round the sweeper, then snap out before the chicane at the end of the straight)

If you don't want to run roll bars, try HPI silver or Tam blue springs instead.
