Default emergency brake problem

so i lowered my 04 gt and ever since when i hit the breaks hard and the car like tilts, almost, the e brake light turns on until the car settles toa level position. i tried adjusting the switch under the glove box and i can't seem to find some sort of adjustment on the cable. any help on what may be happening to me? thanks

The e brake works from a cable so hitting the breaks won't effect it at all. Sounds like you have a caliper that's not working. You say the car leans? Does it pull? You should inspect your rear breaks.
