An idea on how the active Aero Brakes may have ben set up. Probably more complex than my sketch. As more brake force is applied, more G-Force is exerted on the counter weight, in turn lifting the spoiler higher, increasing down force and Cd to show the rig by friction brake and drag...

This idea could be applied with a side to side mechanism as well .. So that extra down force is developed when needed...in yaw more down force on one side (like at Bonneville) to counter the high speed wiggles.. or in road course driving..
