Both broke because the stud backed out & got loose (forgot to use locktite on the aluminum which won't work in plastic). The only rear tower I ever broke was on a plastic u-brace (hitting a jump way wrong & going into the wall at full speed tower first will do that
).
I see no reason not to, but then again, unless you are breaking lots of plastic u-braces like my kids did, I no reason to spend the extra $.
Why don't you run one of the really long ball stud, and a plain nut on the bottom?

Why didn't you just shave the brace on your car?
