Think there are a few others too which will do this.
give you more room to move!

Yep, but when you design a suspension you can't always say an aftermarket LCA is required.

I always design function over form when working on suspension.
Because a suspension that hit the bump stop all the time and provide an extremely choppy ride is not something I would want to ride on at all.
Therefore, it isn't something I would want to provide to the community.

Lowering is good, but only to a point where the car still remain a car that you want to get in and drive.
No one want to wake up in the morning, clinch their teeth on the way to the garage, because they know the journey ahead is going to be painful.

I agree, you can't tell them that an aftermarket LCA is required, but if someone is wanting to get low, then it's kind of a requirement, there is not much travel in the rear as it is, you lower it more than 20-30mm, then you are going to have issues.
If you want to slam it, and still have somewhat of a nice ride, then LCA's that will lower the car, not the strut is just common sense.

putting in PBM LCA's drops the rear up to 40mm without changing your suspension.

These go in the same basket as the subframe/diff risers, or higher rated drive shafts, they are supporting mods so other things don't break or won't cause problems.
They are things you don't necessarily need, but if you want to play with the big boys...
