Default Fitting lowered springs

I'm seriously considering fitted lowered springs to my F-Type S coupe, and maybe even doing it myself. I've fitted lower springs myself to a few previous cars.
Looking at the front springs it seems fairly straightforward, the top mounts are easily accessible in the engine bay without having to remove anything out of the way, and the lower mounts look not too difficult.
But I'm stumped on the top mounts for the rear springs, where exactly are they and how do you access them? Are they in the cabin behind the seats or in the trunk/boot? I can't see an obvious way to remove the trim panels from either the cabin or the trunk/boot (unlike my XFR where it's obvious and easy), so any help would be appreciated!

Trunk is correct.

Thanks guys!
I had already pulled out the trunk bottom panels to check out a few things, but I didn't spot any strut tower bolts/nuts, I'll have to poke around in there a bit deeper!

They are accessible from the crawl spaces either side of the trunk side carpet.
