I recently got Eibach springs from PTP but I think they are no longer available.
You haven't yet said what model your ZS is ?
If it's a 110/120 then you could try Motobuild,
The Eibach ones DO make a difference.

If you fit lowering springs it shouldn't sit higher!

Lowering springs making a car higher? Seriously?

I'm sure someone will correct me if I'm wrong, but the differences between mk1 and mk2 are almost all cosmetic, the suspension on both mk's is exactly the same.

Now we need to know what engine you have in your mk2 so the right springs can be advised. You've gotta help us to help you.

I'm pretty certain that mk1 & mk2 use the same springs but there's a lot of duff info floating about so no real surprise that stuff like this becomes "knowledge" lol

Eibach are the only spring kit to use. Great kit.

If you go more up market, AVO coilovers.
