I am going to say the opposite about having someone else drive your car and tell you what it needs.

Your driving style will differ and while those suggestions may mirror your opinions, they may not. And if they do mirror your opinion, they may not mirror them to the same degree or vice versa.

In autoX, we are all agreed that the stock primacies need to go.
But as far as suspension set up, the degree your car pushes in a corner, the amount of understeer/oversteer all depends on your driving style.

Are you the type to mash on the brake pedal in a straight line, or do you tend to trail brake....

in a nutshell, what someone says should be good for your car may not necissarily be good for your car.

I would drive the car, then take it to a good alignment shop and say "I Feel that the car oversteers/understeers too much", "I get a lot of push making a left/right turn.", etc and then let them try to tune your suspension to your needs and your driving style.
