How does this app work ? Does the phone have a built in motion sensor ? I don't know if I would trust it to give me an accurate measurement of actual "G" force .
The "Vericom" isn't sold on eBay but the other one is. Here's the link. http://www.ebay.com/itm/162064182578?_trksid=p2060353.m1438.l2649&ssPageName=STRK%3AMEBIDX%3AIT

Every 6 months our busses must pass a brake safety inspection. One of the tests is to take it out back and get the speed up to 20 mph then slam on the brakes. We have a nice testing device that measures brake force and total "G" force. We have to do 3 passes. All busses must pass at .500 "G"...
I also save my springs as the new wheel cylinders don't always come with the proper spring that holds the cups. I bought a bunch of "Chinese" made cylinders and threw-out all the cups and installed new ones from NAPA and installed my old springs.
