Status: offline 		Yes they fit, and I also run a Subaru body. It's very close, but it does work. I'll take some pictures for you tommorow showing how I mount the body.
I'm not sure about other bodys though, I have a Ford Focus body I want to run, but I haven't checked if the front shock tower is too high for it yet. The back of the focus should be fine, it's a hatch back, so there's plenty of run.

Status: offline 		I've ran the 01' subaru impreza, and the racing impreza body (that orange one that says HPI RACING down the side) on this chassis with these shock towers.

The first picture shows how the front shock tower fits right in that hood scoop area.

Two pictures show the rear body mounts, they are used from the super nitro rally parts tree that I posted a couple posts earlier. But I did have to modify them so the post itself would stick through that cross plate piece rather than mount to the top of it.

Another picture just shows where I stuck adhesive backed foam on the body, and where that foam sits on the chassis, I hope that makes sense.

One picture just shows the height of the body to the ground and the chassis. I think it looks pretty good, not too high, not to low.

Status: offline 		that should work fine...all subaru's are the same chassis, just diffrent exterior look's.

the prova is a street car, but im sure once your chassis is jacked up it will be fine....you may need to trim the bottom of the body to make it rally worthy...but thats no biggie.
