power seats. i think the 20way adjustable is comfort seat pkg.
in 2007 the sports package came with the 20 way adjustable seats, 3 spoke sports steering wheel along and shadowline trim.
The 18" rims were an extra option.
Suspension remains unchanged to accomodate AWD.

Now that I've been driving it around for 3 hrs:

Pics? Happy motoring
Sports package is like..... 2500 or 3k more? Big waste. Not only can you install shadowline trim for 220 bucks, shipped, but you can get yourself a H&R Sport spring set for 250 bucks plus 240 or so installation and then choose a 19 or 20" rim to suit your exact taste. In the end, you'll feel like you had a hand in building your baby, for less money. I know I do.

I highly recommend you try out the new sports package seats...It is an 'experience'.
On Xi models, there are certain tire / wheel combinations that are recommended as well as springs.
On NON Xi models - i believe there are more options of self modifications as you've described.
On Non XI models with Sports Package, you get ARS - and trust me - that ain't no "spring" upgrade....
EDIT:
BTW: I have never heard anyone who actually bought a sports package equipped car and paid extra - have buyers remorse!
