You'll need something tough, a grinder (air or electric) with a cutoff wheel , a Sawzall or something else MADE FOR CUTTING METAL. A dremel ain't gonna do it.
Take the struts out of the car before you do it.

find a buddy with a compressor,die grinder, and a cut off wheel. let the sparks fly. don't forget eye protection.
