Welcome. You started with one of the best handling Porsches ever. (And prettiest, too, according to most of us)

Be sure to reach out to Jeff Coe and register your ownership with him.

Also, be sure to check out the 968 Registry for more info on these very cool cars. https://968register.org/

I see what appears to be a Club Sport (steering) wheel and a harness bar. Is that all the mods?

Jeff would have mentioned if M030 plus it does not have 030 brake discs. It looks very clean!

Whoops! I thought you were referring to the car being a 030 - you were only referring to the sway bars. Sorry, misinterpreted that.

The sway bars were an add on by a previous owner. I have a bunch of receipts and history about this car and that was one that I found

I think eBay would be your best bet. OK Foreign is out of business. There’s another place that always come up in google searches, but they never seem to have what I’m looking for.

And possibly John Sheiry

Also, since no one has yet to mention, you do want to determine the age of the timing belt.

And check the fuel lines in the engine bay.
