An empty street is just fine. Get going about 10 MPH backwards, going straight, and jam on the brakes. If your tires squeal a bit, you did it just right. If you thought that was fun, do it again. That usually evens out the brakes on my Maverick. I have tried it on other cars, and it works there, too. I got this trick from a mechanic back when I was pumping gas for extra money...
