I remember when I had stock suspension on my srt-4 the actual ebrake lever would raise up becuase of the rsx g-forces I was pulling at WOT.

Under hard shifts, the brake fluid sloshes to the back of the reservoir causing the level switch to trigger a low fluid warning, hence the Brake light comes on.

usually brake fluid gets low as the brake pads wear... check if the pads need replacing.
