Default 2006 C70 rear coil spring replacement

I need to replace the rear coil springs on my 2006 C70. Couldn't find any DIY videos or threads. Would appreciate some steps, a video or a thread that discusses the process. I'm not interested in lowering, just want to replace since the tires are hitting the insides wheel well. I've already replace the shocks, which worked to an extent, but still getting some bottoming out, and that's without any additional weight in the trunk. Thanks in advance.

for next time (future reference).. suggest that you get fully load struts, which includes the springs and is easier to install.

I don't believe that's possible on a 2006 C70 rear suspension.

Seems like this V50 video should work:

This Ford Focus based on the P1 frame may also be helpful for lowering and raising the control arm:
