Re:Wilwood brake kit - too close to steering arm?

This is a major criticism I have of a lot of brake kits out there for the Escorts and is why I went down the road of creating an alternative option with the RX7 calipers and Pug 283mm rotor.
Even the Hi Spec kits are VERY close (1-2mm) to the steering arm so I will probably use an alsternative disc to provide at least 5mm clearance.
I often wonder why such basic engineering principles (ample clearance) are ignored when producing replacement items such as this and I doubt my engineer would let it go.
That being said, I would assume the Capri strut with the seperate steering arm would be the intended recipient of these kits although they do "fit" the Escort strut.
