Find a quiet stretch of road and find out how fast you can stop.  Ideally
both front and rear should lock up at the same time.  But if the fronts lock
up first, and it only takes a little more pressure to lock up the rears,
that's OK.

To my way of thinking, this is reasonable periodic maintenance for old cars;
at least those driven on the street.  Good driver education, too.
