Default Where to go to measure stopping distance??

In spring when the snow melts , I would like to dial in my brakes. What have you guys done for this? Is there anywhere that has equipment for this?? I would like to do adjustments and even possibly swap pads to try to egt the fastest stopping distance possible. Speeds from 60-0 and 100-0.

How about a G-tech meter and an empty parking lot?

You won't really need any special tools to adjust your front/rear bias, just keep adjusting until the fronts lock just slightly before the rears.

Lucky for me I have a industrial park only a mile away I have a nice 1/2 mile stretch of road in there with field to easily get from 60-0 and 100-0. I will have to make a goal! 0-100 and back to 0 in 10 seconds should be a reasonable goal?? Dang snow!!
