That's the reason I post questions And I really really appreciate all the help.
The person you are talking about is probably @AJ Hartman. He has great videos about aero dynamics. We are in the process of making the splitter, so we are using cables during the prototyping/modifications, at the end we will another support beam and put rods, still not sure how many [may thanks to @Mad Hatter for help]. But even now, based on the bended support arms, it works
As for downforce, based on what I remember about physics, downforce on the connector will be the same independent of the angle of the cable/rod. If anything cable will reduce the downforce at a single point du to better distribution of the weight. So I don't think there is any way this bracket would work if it would be rod and not cable. Here is a temporary solution we came up with:

Confused on how tensions can differ with angle
So I understand the mechanics of resolving forces via Trig, what confuses me is how the tension can change. Imagine you have a 100N weight suspended from a rope tied to 2 points. It seems to me (...
