Welcome to the board man.
I would flame you for not searching, but that feature is currently down so I would just look like an ass.
Back in the day I heard DC sports made one. Check ebay or browse through the forums to find one.

DC's your only source. You might find a Ractive if you're lucky, but they're discontinued. Oh, the DC bar is gonna run ya a few bucks too.

"A Strut Tower Bar is designed to tie the two opposing strut towers together as a single solid unit. The purpose of a strut tower bar is to reduce flex that these towers experience during hard cornering. When taking a turn a car's strut towers normally flex, resulting in bodyflex and losing some traction.

As Strut Tower Bars are designed to keep your strut towers from flexing, they distribute the pressure applied to one strut tower when taking a turn to both towers instead of just one."
