if i bought them would i need to buy ford escort rear suspension

[mowgli]

no, you modify the turret so it will take nova specific rear coilovers. it is not going to be an easy job

[The Simps]

The reason you do it is to create more room.

Coilovers will bolt straight on to most novas with maybe a slight bit of hammering to the inner arch in places. People like to fit the turrets to add a bit more strength and to move the strut away from the tyre so you can run a wider wheel.

If you're fitting coilovers on a road car and don't have clearance issuesI wouldn't worry about it.

My car was rotten as a pear, so turreted it for that reason & also as its a trick mod for the shell.

I dont like beating things with big hammers either, with the AVO's I was still having issues with tyre rub on the springs, but thats more likely a GM/Nova beam tolerance issue. You dont need to make lots of room for the coilovers but I feel my shell is suitable for even the Grp-A Bilstein gravel spec stuff now.
