I have no clearance issues with mine. From the pictures you posted of yours, they appear to be clocked a little lower than mine, I don't have any clearance issues with the steering stop on the spindles either.
Check this out (a TGO link so you may have to sign on)
I think Tony had a similar issue with his in this post.

From this thread http://www.thirdgen.org/techboard/faq-board/183169-98-camaro-ls1-brakes.html
Looks like I referenced one of the same threads you did 
Greg, I bought most of my stuff used, but I still have alot of money into these. Junkyard spindles with rotors were $35 apiece, machine work to turn the rotors down into hubs was 2 hrs shop time ($160). Caliper brackets were $100. C5 calipers with pads and rotors from Ian was $300. On top of that was the other little things like wheel bearings, brake fluid (lots), misc tools I didn't have. Not real cheap, but I learned alot doing it myself over a few weekends.
