I've heard many lowered S197 guys cut the stock rear snubbers to gain travel so decided to give it a try. I cut the snubber height by about an inch retaining about a half of what was there. I figured worst case I'd need to buy new softer ones from FR fir $30 US.

It actually seems to have improved my ride.

If you're lowered in a S197 and think you're riding around on the snubbers too often, chop them! It's a zero cost mod that seems to work.

Trim works like a charm, nicely done.

Yep I did the same cut the top bump off and found it doesn't bottom out any more, did you do the front too or just rear

Just the rear. Hadn't considered the front. I don't think I hit them often.
