Default Will Accord shocks fit?

Hey I'm just wondering if the rear 85 - 89 Accord springs will fit in a 88 Civic, the car is used to haul alot of weight everyday and wears out the springs, so low that the exhaust scrapes the ground quite often. The car has been through 2 sets of springs already :-/ So I was wondering if the rear Accord shocks would fit since the Accord is a bigger car, can probably handle more weight, the springs might be stronger. Look how low it is

If you don't know if they fit, can I have specs of the measurements etc? We don't care if the *** of the car is too high.

Wow....

Um, have you considered getting some airbag helper springs? They also have spring spacers you can put in yours springs to stiffen them.
