Default More brake dust ...

I understand that a lot of break dust is generated by the stock pads, but I have observed unequal amounts produced on left and right front tires. Cleaned them last night and the front right had significantly more break dust than the front left. Previous time I washed, I noticed this too but can't remember which side had more.

Is this indicative of a potential problem or could it be considered normal? Any thoughts are appreciated.

As long as its not pulling to one side when you brake the only thing I can think of is that maybe they put Z06 pads on one side and standard pads on the other when your car was built.
