get a caliper and measure the diameter of the bars...
perhaps you should not modify the car until you know basic stuff? maybe its safer this way.

from what I know, the 924 does not have by default anti-roll bars, so they would some additional parts to install, but I have no idea how to do.
I would like only reduce roll of car, but with original suspensions.

Only some early 924s didn't have them(76?), maybe mostly US versions.

First go and look under the front and rear of your car and determine if you have front and rear sway bars installed.

If you do, use a tape measure to measure the circumference of the sway bars (convert from circumference to diameter to determine the "size") or go and get a caliper from the local tool shop.

The rear sway bar is in the bottom of this pic:



More info on fitting a rear sway bar:

Someone should come up with a way to quickly locate this type of information since it has all already been thoroughly covered on the site.

Oh well.

Yes, but I'm not an expert in mechanical and even in english (I'm in Italy), I just want to know if installing sway bars of turbo the roll of car improves.
In a trackday roll of 924 NA is excessive. My 924 NA is '79 euro, all the european turbo are compatibles ?
Thanks

Yes, I’m sorry to hear this but you can't hold us responsible for the lack thereof.
You’ll need to work on your English and could do so by reading up here and 924.org whilst looking for answers, and occasionally use translate google to get a grasp of the language.
There is also the Haynes 924 Manual, PET drawings, the Porsche factory manuals and BOSCH books on the CIS subject that cover many details that you need to know to work successfully on your car.
So your reading assignment is actually an English lesson, capiche?

there is a how to , in the "how to" forum section, on page 2, a few posts down...
and no, you won't need to replace the shocks...

you will need,
14mm rear sway bar
end droplinks
torsion carrier mounts
a fiat...
and someone to sell your Porsche to...
