Accord springs on a Civic?

[Digital1SR]

I own an 88' Honda Civic LX, great lil everyday beater. Every time the road gets wavy, it scraps. When there's a really big pot hole it sounds like the struts bottom out. I checked the struts by shaking the car up and down. The back side is fine, the front side seems fine as well, no excessive wobble like when your struts are fully worn out. A guy at the auto place adviced me to change the Springs. He said the springs might be worn and that I might be interested in looking for some accord springs in the front to raise the car a bit and eliminate the scraps.

Does anyone see a problem with using accord springs on a Civic?

Let me know a.s.a.p.
Any info wether good or bad will be greatly appreciated!
