Exactly ^^^^^^^^
Finally, somebody got it right.
All kidding aside, they can work in certain circumstances. But they are not necessary in any circumstance.
For instance, with SS springs, they are not necessary.
If you have crappy stock springs, then the snubber might be a cheap band aid if you do not want to spring for SS springs.
Used to be the old saying was automatic without a snubber and four speed with one, but even with SS springs, I don't think the snubber will add a lot even with a four speed. I have run with and without them but always ran SS springs and never saw an appreciable difference. In fact, one car I had sped up when I removed it.
