If you have a good link on it and can find it at a good price I would go for it. Quick search online found the average price for the zero-1 to be just over 2000. Not bad, but the zero-2 which I would go for is almost 2600. The Aussie price might be better or worse depending on the distributor over there. At that price I would probably recommend still going for the HSD HR Inverted Mono coilovers. At 1300 - 1400 dollars, its going to do everything you want for the track and on the street. The kit has surpassed all my expectations.

I'm not looking to lower my RA , I just want to soften the ride . What would be the best coilover with either a progressive rate spring or two spring setup? That way I could lower it when I want and go back whe n I want.

It depends on the coilovers that you get. If you get something like the KW v2's, then you'll want to go with the progressive rate springs (assuming thats possible), due to the design of them.
If you go with something like FortuneAuto 500 or 510s, then you'll want to go with the 2 spring setup, because the design allows you to "pretension" the suspension, and it isn't affected by you adjusting the ride height.
One thing to note, no matter which coilovers you go with, raising lowering the ride height is going to alter the toe and camber. So, while it is possible for you to raise/lower the car whenever, you'll want to be careful how much you drive when doing so. Ideally, you should be able to check and adjust the toe yourself to prevent excessive tire wear and excessive wallet deflation at the alignment shop...
