Default Brake light on dash keeps coming on while driving

1992 civic sedan, just put a set of coilovers on the other day. When I go into a sharp turn my parking brake light on the dash comes on. The car only sits about a half an inch lower. Don’t know if it’s even got anything to do with the coilovers cause when I first bought the car it was doing something similar but the light eventually stopped coming on. Is there any reason the light comes on other than the switch on the hand brake? The light coming on doesn’t really bother me I just want to make sure it’s not because somethings getting pinched when I turn.

It probably is due to the brake fluid level.

That makes sense, probably when I turn hard it sloshes around to make the sensor go off. I’ll check this morning to make sure it’s not actually getting low. Thanks
