I did a brake stand 4 weeks ago, and heard a loud thump, and the car lurched forward and the brakes wouldn't work until I pumped them a few times. Ever since then the ABS light's been on.

Now, 3 weeks later, my pads are gone and my rotors being eaten away. Any ideas where to start?

well i haven't done it yet but your only suppose to hold down teh brake enough to hold the front not suppose to be full on it. So next time just enough to hold the car still.

Get the haynes manual, and see how to check the ABS codes. Report back when you have the codes and we can go from there.

My guess is that you broke one of the sensors. but I won't know till you run the codes.
