              They will work. For shits and giggles I ran the springs from e36 m3 pss9's on my e30, and it was dumped (I had a wrecked M3 with that suspension on it, and after a few beers it seemed like a good idea). H&R sports may not lower your car at all since, as someone else said, e36 springs are taller and stiffer. Though the H&R will be lower for the e36, they may not actually be for the e30. And finally, your car will most likely ride like shit. Mine didn't ride terribly, but it isn't designed for this car. Because of that it isn't quite right. Sell your H&R's on bf.c and then buy the correct springs. You'll be much better off.

                Why bother? you can get e30 m3 springs for close to nothing. e36 rear springs won't fit, unless they are from a z3.

                  I would just go with what is meant for your car and not get whats not meant for it.
