It isn't an alignment issue. Having the car aligned isn't going to change the relationship between the end of the LCA and the brake rotor.

Do you mean you've got Stoptech rotors, or a Stoptech big brake kit? If you've got OEM-replacement Stoptech rotors, should be no different. If you have a big brake kit that uses a thicker-than-OEM rotor, maybe there's a clearance issue.

As you can see in this picture, the clearance between the end of the LCA and the OEM dust shield is pretty tight, but if you remove that, there should be plenty of room:
