Lowered car on stock bolts 1.5 inch, getting alignment Monday. Should I stick with factory alignment or something more aggressive? It's my daily driver, will be taken to drag strip rarely, 2002 Mn6 Z51 coupe.

GM only recommended dropping the cars 15 mm on the stock bolts. That kept the stock shocks from bottoming out on severe bumps.
If you aren't doing any autocrossing or taking the car to a road course you should go with the Pfadt street settings. Huge amounts of camber won't do a thing for you on the street or strip and you may not push the car hard enough to tell how much better the car turns with an aggressive alignment. Most street/strip drivers have little idea how hard a car can be pushed in a corner.
