Default Springs for weight ?

My car has a tolerable ride when it empty although a bit soft.

When I carry weight [4 people or stuff in the rear] the back end sags enough that I am concerned about a wheel rubbing [205/65-16]

I DON'T want to lower the car at all. I gather I need some heavier springs in the rear ? Progressive so they are soft when it's empty but support more as load goes up.

Recommendations ?
TIA
Bobb

Something like this may help, example air spring helper kit: Under $100 bucks, some kits have an optional air control kit + some don't + must by a compressor kit.
Add 1,000 lbs. level load capacity with adjustable air springs for hauling or towing!!!
Air Lift # 60774 "Air Lift 1000" air bag helper springs keep your Scion xB level and riding comfortably when hauling or towing. These totally adjustable air springs mount inside the existing coil spring of your Scion xB to provide load control through the use of air pressure. Rated at 1,000 lbs for additional level suspension load capacity. All Air Lift air bag helper springs are custom fit for a simple bolt-on installation. An optional air control kit (air compressor kit) can be added (not required) for additional convenience.
