So, Im going turbo and I would like to get a front strut bar.. Where can I get a good one? Also, do I need a rear strut bar? If so, what so good about it?

Strut bars are unnecessary on a tC.
If you look, the strut towers are against the firewall, and the shock towers are against the wheel wells.
Have you done any work on your suspension? Sway bar, dampers, then springs. The opposite of most, but this actually works.

You're going turbo, good for you. What does this do with a strut bar? Either way, save your money for a mod that will help you, not be for looks.

Strut tower bar is going to be more for looks..if you actually want something that will help your suspension get a rear sway bar

If you are actually concerned with performance, a rear sway bar would be your very first mod. It made the biggest difference of ANYthing I did on my autocross car. And I regularly beat cars with much more power... You still have to put it down...
