I was hoping to use my rear suspension but it looks like the ti's use a E30 setup
You are correct about not being able to use the E36 rear suspension in the 318ti. I know there are some components that can be interchangeable with minor modification from an E30 rear end. I believe the rear springs are ti specific, maybe someone else can confirm.

I also found some info here:
