What are the pros and cons to removing the prop valve? What is involved to remove the prop valve?
Depending on your tires and car, removing the prop valve has the theoretical effect of allowing the rears to lock up before the fronts which could cause the rear to come around and would not be safe. Not an issue on my car as I have street compound fronts and sticky rear tires (and used to have tall 19" rears). You have to test once you have it out to see on your own car.

You can either remove the spring or the seal to disable it. I took the seal out. In any event you have to "open" the rear of the system to do this and must re-bleed afterward.
