Rear shocks for lowered suspension?
I'm finally getting my car back together. I'm running 650lb circle track springs up front and QA1 12 way adjustables, Hellwig sway bar, spc uca, tall upper bj, solid lca bushings. In the rear its going to be Hotchkis 3 inch drop springs when they get here, by summer a Hellwig adjustable rear sway bar and maybe a watts link if i'm feeling crazy. Should i just run the QA1 rears? Are the stocker stars going to be outside of their operating range with the 3 inch drop leaf springs? I don't want to spend crazy amounts of money and i have to get it back together in about 2 weeks.

Yes, stock shocks will be out of their range
I would consider a after market cross member like DSE or make your own to gain shock travel.
