Hi,
I suspect that it was the ABS kicking in. But, you should not use the Brakes Hard for the 1st 50-100 miles after installing new Street Pads. This will cause the Pads and Rotors to Glaze. There's a somewhat natural inclination to Stomp on them after servicing them to assure yourself that they are better, but avoid doing this.
As I sugessted, go the the Manufacturers Web site to see what their particular Bedding-in procedure is. There is no one method to use, rather each depends on the particular Friction Material combination used in the Pads. You want to get them up to temp several times to off-gas any remaining solvent in the Pads and to deposit a layer of the new Friction Material on the Rotors.
If you have already Glazed the Pads and Rotors, you'll need to remove the Pads and rough them up, and the Rotors, to remove the excess material using ScotchBrite Pad or 40-60 Grit Sandpaper. If using the Sandpaper, be sure to wide any residual grit off the Pads and Rotors using a solvent (prefereably denatured alcohol...
Happy Motoring!... Jim'99
