I currently have continental sport contact 2's which are ZR rated...will replacing them with a 100Y rated tyre do the job, or should I be sticking with a ZR rating?? HNY!

ZR are rated to 150mph +, exactly how much "+" depends on the make.

100Y is a load rating of 100 (800Kg) and a speed rating of Y, 186mph.

Thanks for clarifying Richard. So 100Y should do then?

100y should be fine and is probably what's listed on the sticker on the driver's door jamb.
