I own an '03 coupe 6MT. Recently, my ABS, Slip and VDC lights came on. I thought it was due to low fluid/low brake pads and I filled the reservoir and ordered new pads. Sure, the pads needed changing but the lights did not go off after filling with fluid and changing the pads.

I suspected the ABS might not be working properly and the other day I confirmed it as I had to do an emergency braking and the the brakes locked up. There is also a strange symptom; when I turn the car on, I hear a loud clunking noise from the front of the car and the brake pedal goes down a bit as if something adjusted itself.

Has anyone experienced something similar? I fear something major might need replacement.

I also posted this on the brake tech area, but reposted here thinking I might get more answers. If I'm violating any forum rules, mods please feel free to delete this thread.
