Removing the spring puts more pressure to the rears instead of proportioning it down. Many guys add 4 wheel disc, don't get great results, remove the spring and now have better brakes. Same would have happened if they just removed the spring and left the drums on.
For you guys removing the spring, go 35 MPH and lock up your brakes. If you stop straight fine, if your ass end comes out think about what will happen at 70 MPH (roll, crash, burn, crispy human flesh).
There's a reason it's called a proportioning valve and it is needed. You guys are removing the proportioning part out of that valve. It will only matter if your capable of locking up the brakes, but if you can and the rears lock up first, bad things happen.
