Shame I missed this thread...
The ball joint should not grind if you cut the dust shield. You should be getting the later style regardless though due to the fact the earlier style has less clearance to the bottom of the rotor than with the later style.
I've been running OK with late style rotors + calipers, but I did have to cut the shield completely away at the bottom and there is about 5mm gap between the two. No touching, but it is close.
