Any control arms comparable with the 93 e34 that'll widen my steering for better drifting, or will I have to do welding?

Im pretty sure Sean (SLR) had this all worked out years ago for Harri's car. I'll see if I can get him to chime in

Bolt in the E34 ix crossmember and then run an SLR mini-kit!

Disclaimer: I don't know if the ix crossmember fits a standard E34 body, but it at least looks workable.
exactly what he's saying, just remember that when you go to the part store you ask for the crossmember kind of strut

If the ix crossmember will work, then absolutely I'd recommend running E36 knuckles, and if you order coilovers from BC racing, they can supply your E34 kit with E36 front lower brackets instead of the pain-in-the-butt weld-on E34 setup.
Otherwise on a budget setup, an E36 strut+knuckle will work in the E34 if you're using the ix crossmember (rack steering and forward-mounted rack).
Remember this is changing basically everything in the front suspension and steering, so beware of oil pan clearance changes etc. Should work great with a rear-sump LS though!
The reason to go to such lengths on the E34 is to convert the double-pivot setup into a single-balljoint system which won't bind at big steering angle.
SLR parts can be found at www.SLRspeed.com
Also I have a good idea in mind for an E34 kit, but how much as you looking to spend? We've had several questions over the years, but the number of E34 inquiries in 7 years has honestly been the number of E36 kits we sell in a few weeks, so it's tough to justify a kit unless you can get 5+ people on board to get it rolling.
Cheers,
Sean
