Default Volvo V70 FWD 1998

Hey guys, I'm looking to lower my 1998 V70.

Looked into lowered springs, which lower about 40mm the car. (the cheap option) 90EUR

Coilovers (a bit more expensive, but I can't always take out my wheels to do the height everytime) 300eur

And air ride suspension (much more expensive, but it's my dream ) 400eur


So the question is what should I go for? And will this air suspension fit my FWD 1998 Volvo V70? (when i search for v70 suspension, this came up) If it does not, then maybe you guys know any cheap websites for the lowering springs, coilovers?

I would personally avoid all of these options and fit fresh Bilstein B4 shocks and if you want to lower, some Eibach springs from Germany. PFS parts sell the Bilsteins for a great price and it's where my money would be going for a slightly stiffer than OEM set up and about 20mm of drop.
