Your ABS works independent of your brakes.

If you are still braking horribly, I would suggest a full inspection of your brake system. Changing pads/rotors is good but you also need to bleed them and make sure your master and slave cylinders are good.

ive booked it into honda for a inspection on the brakes . does it sound a big job or costly???

^depends.

Most brake parts are pretty cheap (brake master cylinder/ slave cylinder)

If its the brake booster it could be expensive. But from my knowledge, it seems that its usually the first two that are the problem.

Its really cheap if you could fix it yourself. Also I never used my abs.
