Default 95 Accord Wagon suspension question

I have a 95 station wagon, and I would like a little more ground clearance, because shitty country roads where I live. I have been reading about some limited intercompatibility with the Odyssey. Would the whole strut/shock assembly fit on my accord? Are there any other options for lifting accords?

Find us a diagram / picture of how the coilover assembly mounts to the chassis and maybe those of us who don't know that exact model can provide some options.

A cheap way to do it would be to just stick some spacers in the springs. If you aren't worried about your autocross time this might be worth looking into.

That's not going to give him the benefit of full spring travel though. What might work are a set of coilover sleeves, and mounting the stock springs to those, essentially jacking the suspension closer to full-droop. The only downside will be a need to install camber adjustment bolts so as to make up for the extra positive camber.
