Default Need suggestions for suspension

I have a 2001 v70 t5 that has a bad front strut and would like to update my suspension while I am at it. I wanted tp put coilovers on the front as I was thinking it would give me more tire space. What is the best for me to get? I would also like to be able to adjust my drop. I have only found a couple of coilovers for the v70... most of the setups I have seen are not coilovers. Is there a reason for this?


tia,
Ron

A little more info:
I would like to show the car like I did my last car at the Car Shows and am not sure what to due for the suspension. I would like to be able to dial in the ride height to get the look and performance I like. I see that Bilstein and Koni make setups but I haven't seen any springs for them that would be adjustable. I also see that KW makes a coilover. Does anyone have any experience with the KW coilovers and know how the quality of ride and build is compared to Koni or Bilstein? I also would like to have some pillowblocks so the camber is easily adjusted from the top but I have not seen any available... does anyone know where I can get some. I also will be putting on some new sway bars front and rear... IPD is all I have seen available. Is IPD the best option for my application?
