So right after I've put on the suspension the ABS light came on my dashboard. Sensors seem to be ok, what might be the reason?

rear sensor? IIRC, letting the rear drop too much will damage the wires. Common problem when doing suspension work

Rear is not even that dropped... How can I know which sensor is screwed? Is it ok if I leave it like that?

No, I meant during the installation.
You can drive like that, but during a panic stop, the rears might lock. Your ABS is disabled now

yup you must of pulled a wire from one of the sensors that are on the caliper from letting one of the independent rears too low during installation. i'd double check the rear for loose wiring by the sensor
