Magnetic Ride Control
What happens when you change the switch from tour to sport? I often put it in sport mode thinking that I am changing the position of the shocks to a new position, there by removing any corrosion on the shocks shaft. Probably less than critical thinking. Anyway I don't feel much difference in the change of the switch.

I have the mag ride in my 13 GS and have never used it much. I can tell little difference in the two modes. I don't track the car but maybe an occasional straight line blast of spirited driving. I am a cruzer...

You will not notice any difference between sport and touring on most decent roads in normal driving (and definitely not while parked).
If you are driving on very wavy or curvy roads at a spirited pace then you should notice that the sport mode is a little stiffer with less body roll, especially around sharp turns at speed.
I just keep mine in sport mode all the time since I don't have any really bad roads in my area.

I have it on my 08. And as others have stated it stiffens the ride, especially noticed on curvy, and not so smooth roads.
I also notice a subtle difference and even more so on bumpy curvy, rumble stripped roads.
I also noticed a HUGE difference when I ditched my run-flats asap.
Could not stand them. Probably one of the best changes I've made.
Went with Bridgestone RE-11.
