Do you have E36 front spindles? If no then no. E36 bits can work on an E30 but it has to be done properly with all the E36 parts.

No, they won't fit. The E30 spindle is integrated into the housing and then, generally, the front damper is an insert. The E36 spindle is a separate piece from the damper/strut assembly. For the conversion on an E30, you need the E36 spindles otherwise you'll have nothing to mount the wheel/brakes to. ; )
Now I *believe* there are some E36 dampers which are inserts but I have no idea if they're the correct size for E30 housing. And if you're talking coilovers I'm guessing the E36 parts are NOT inserts.
For some specific pictures, see here:

Hope this helps.
