Default Suspension need help!!!

Hi all, I am new to this forum, need some help on the suspension of my Ti.
All I know about the TI suspension is, the front one is the same as rest of the E36, but the rear one is the same as E30 rear suspension.
While I am trying to get a set of hi-lo kit from local suspension store, they cannot find TI on their application list, then I told the guy to order E36 front and E30 rear for me, He said the nasty supplier only sell them as a set n cannot take separate order.
Now my only hope is the ordering a full set of hi-lo kit for the Z3 chassis, I once heard about the Z3 chassis is similar to 318TI's (E36 front E30 rear), does anyone here know about it?

Thank you very much.

we share the rear suspension with the z3 and they share the front with the rest of the e36 crew
