Brake Wear Heavier On Passenger Side??

After cleaning my wheels, brake dust accumulates faster on the front passenger side rather than the drivers. I Recently replaced both front calipers w/ OEM rebuilds, greased the slide pins, changed the pads from Axxis Metal Master to Hawk HPS, installed Power Slot rotors, and switched to SS brake lines. With the old calipers and Axxis pads the front passenger side squeeked when Brakes were applied, so there's always been some issues w/ the front right side. To me it seems as if there is uneaven pressure being applied more to the front right caliper. Replacing the two front calipers and going to Hawk pads did resolve the brake noise but, I'm still stuck w/ uneaven brake wear. I was thinking that replacing the calipers would resolve the unbalanced braking, well it didn't.

1)Is there a way to adjust fluid pressure between the two calipers?
2)Can you give me any reasons for what could be causing this uneaven wear?
3)Are you experiencing the same problem, is this common? Your feedback is greatly appreciated. Thanks

A lot of forgien cars have this problem. BMWs are the worst. How long ago did you do the work? Check the slide pins to see if one or maybe both are sticking.

I replaced the Two front calipers back in May, I greased them with w/ a good Hi temp grease. I'm thinking problem goes past just the pins.
