[QUOTE="LAF, post: 950872, member: 20868"] If it was me I would pull the calipers, remove the brake pads, clean the pistons with toothbrush and brake cleaner. I use wood blocks of various thickness to clamp the pistons on so the do not pop out. I would also sand the rotors a bit and look at them, you can see pad materiel embedded on the rotors, just sand till you see that coming off, brake cleaner is your friend on this job. Sand from the center down not around the circle shape of the rotor. Then go bed them in. You can find How To Bed in Brakes on any search engine I do this every tire change myself, and while it is work it is also something drilled into me over the years. I would suggest you find some gravel on some strait road and really kick in the ABS. That is what I did to "exercise" the ABS unit before doing a brake flush. And I wanted to know what it felt like and I did it quite a few times to know what if felt like. I could not imagine ABS engagement at stops, I would need to sort that out. I also like the idea of pad rotation, and that may serve you here sorting it out. [/QUOTE]
