A tip that will make it very easy to tell which end is locking first is to
put a wide stripe of white shoe polish, duct tape or whatever across the
sidewalls of the tires 180 degrees apart. I did it this way when setting up
my race car and it made it much easier to see which end was slowing even
before it locked.

If you don't have a track to play on, you can do a creditable job of
adjustment on a deserted straight road. Pick a braking marker and station an
observer at the side of the road (not TOO close) a little further on. When
you hit
the marker, lay into the brakes really hard until you lock up (an old set of
tires would be a good idea for this exercise). Keep playing with the balance
bar or rear limiter until the fronts always lock up first, and you are
there!
I suggest you have an observer as it isn't always easy to tell which locked
first from the driver's seat (unless it happens to spin, of course.....)
