Default Grinding Noise under mid-hard RIGHT cornering

Hi guys, just noticed a grinding noise coming from the front left side under mid to hard right hand cornering.

Noise only happens under those two conditions (does not occur in a straight line or under slow-speed right hand cornering).

It sounds like the brake rotor coming into contact with what I can only assume is the brake pad itself?

I have recently had new dba 4000's put on the front only (about a 3 weeks ago but I have been away for 2 weeks overseas).

The ferodo pads (again only installed on the front) have been there for a while now, at least 5 months.

I have also had whiteline 22mm adj sways (stock links, not whiteline...yet) + alk + roll centre kit installed too (about a month ago) as well if that is of any use.

My initial thought is that its just the rotor not being properly bedded/worn in yet but am concerned its only coming from one side of the car (i.e. they are wearing unevenly?)

Input/experiences appreciated

Thanks,
Shane.
