This is my first time posting so I apologize for posting in general chat.. But hello, I'm Sarah and I have 2007 Versa. :D I got my car put on TEIN S Techs last Wednesday when I started to notice this very subtle humming noise. You wouldn't hear if you weren't paranoid like me haha. It's coming from the passenger side and I feel like it's the rear but I could be wrong. Might I add that I'm riding on the tread bars but the only time I can produce the noise is at around 40mph or higher. The car hasn't been aligned yet and I don't think it's a wheel bearing problem as it's not loud enough.. anyway please share you thoughts on this. Thank you in advance!

my guess is the extra camber in the rear thanks to the springs is making the tires hum.

I'd let them settle a bit. Running the extra camber shouldn't beat up the tires too much.
