Quick question about e36 compact vs fullsize

[ky0u]

Was there a difference in the shocks and springs used between the ti compact and the rest of the 3 series line up (excluding the m3) for the e36? In terms of the strut, Real OEM lists different part numbers but I wanted to confirm that this was not just due to different models. Are the actual parts incompatible

[Farbin Kaiber]

fullsize e36 has e36 suspension front and rear, e36ti essentially has e36 front and e30 rear suspension.

Front struts will have the 318i/is part numbers due to the lighter engine.
The E36 325 parts will work, but 325 springs 'may' lift the nose some.
