I have a set of the OEM springs that I was going to give to a buddy of mine for his 96 Sportage that is doing the same thing. But I noticed that the end coils on both of mine were broken off just like his. This is what makes the springs look like they are sagging. One brakes off and then the other eventually brakes off too.

This is the small section of the coil where it narrows down in both wire diameter and turn radius to give it a variable spring rate.

You can order them from www.kiaparts.com or try some salvage yards to see if they have any.
