Buy new springs? The fact that the car is dropping noticeably when you load it would imply that the springs are tired. I'm sure I will get corrected if wrong, but I don't believe you need a spring compressor to do rear springs, that you can unload the suspension and lower the control arm with a jack to get the spring out.
Rear springs are about $160/each from the dealer. Factor in another $30 or so for new spring pads, too.
