They will fit but will be higher than before. I tried a lowered set af E36 328i springs on the back of my E30 and the back end was higher than normal ride height. Did look funny though

Andy the rear springs might fit but the fronts are totaly different (the only E36 springs that fit the E30 is the E36 M3)
