If you want to do your zed on the cheap apparently the stock shock from an '03 or '04 636 will fit straight in (you'd probably want a softer spring though, perhaps keep the stock spring from the z). If you want to go to town (read NOT cheap) have a look at what Robracer has done to his zed at http://www.ksrc-au.com/phpBB3/viewtopic.php?f=21&t=13994&hilit=z750

They fail to hold gas... (plus a host of other gremlins which gained the bike it's rep. - all fixable though..)
The 05/6 636 would likely be closer to the mark; though the length might be an issue (7mm or so too long), and the 03/4 vs. 05/6 636 have differing width clevis' at the base - is yours a 32mm or a 30mm?
Another shock to look at might be the 00-03 GSXR600 with running your Kawasaki spring - the Zook spring would be too light by a big margin; but the valving and length isn't too far off - check length and clevis matching in any case.
Good luck
