Red face Traction Control and ABS warning light comes on

Hey guys, so I realize there are a number of threads on this subject already, but I couldn't find an answer in any of those, so I'm making a new one. Please don't be angry, I'm a nice guy

So I installed some HKS Hipermax coilers this weekend, along with the shortened HKS stabilizer links that came with the kit, and some adjustable rear lower control arms (which are set to maximum negative camber for the time being). The alignment on the car is currently completely out of whack, as in, it drives like poo poo, and holding the steering wheel straight has the car turning right at a significant angle. I'm waiting for the springs to settle and to figure out my final drop height on my new wheels before I take her in for an alignment.

Now to the point of the story - If I drive the car nice and easy, as in city cruising, everything is fine. As soon as I get a little aggressive on the brakes or in the corners, the 'traction control' starts to blink. Eventually the blinking turns into 'traction control' staying on permanently along with the 'ABS' light. Turn the ignition off and back on again, and all the lights reset.

So the question to my long winded story - Could the whack alignment be setting off the alarms? I'm honestly under the impression that it is, but can anyone with any experience in this chime in. Any help is very greatly appreciated.

Thank you
