Default why the difference in DX prop valves for 2dr/3dr vs 4 dr?

I've been doing some research on what should be changed when a DX is converted to SI/GSR brakes.

Apparently the SI prop valve is the same as the DX 2dr/3dr but not the same as the 4 dr sedan.

Anybody know why the difference in prop valves? the part numbers are different too. i own a 96 DX.

I don't really want to spend time swapping it unless it's truly necessary.

Thanks

4 doors came with either bigger drums or rear discs with abs, neither of which is what you are looking for. If you are looking to put rear discs on you need a prop valve off a non abs del sol w/ rear discs, integra rs, or a non abs civic with rear discs(don't remember which usdm ones if any came with that combo).
