^what Hardrace?
That "design" of rear camber arm. Can you see the welds on either end ? These are just welded around a steel joining sleeve and can snap off....seen a handful of customers cars with this issue (EP3 and dc5s) - blox , hardrace and no - name arms....all same design.
Please refer to this

Note it is significantly thicker and more heavy duty looking
Im not saying ALL arms of this design fail. Im saying ALL arms of the design in question are likely to fail in the event of a light to medium impact where other designs will remain intact
What other kinds of rear camber kits fit dc5 and ep3?
I've only know of the arm type kits?
hmm, interesting note.
i might revert back to OEM rear arm for safety.
yup all kits are "arm type" - Im bringing up that particular type (hardrace , blox etc) have weak joints.
Look at other designs -
This design for example is solid alloy - should take a thumpin'

2 cambers bolts up front with Camber Tops on BC's maxed out at -1.5 before toe came out. Todd's tie rods fixed this up to get upto -4. Hardrace camber arms are good for -4. I shortened mine heaps and installed and it was redic the camber i had hahahah
Is there any advantage or reason apart from due to design of some aftermarket intakes, as to why people run mini breather intakes instead of the breather hose from the intake?

Umm something bad has happened to my EP3 and i need some urgent help, my top idler pulley just completely snapped off and and took taking a chunk off with it too... So lucky i wasn't even on the road, I was just at home testing the belt tension to see if its loose, poking around then SNAP! Is that part replaceable?

Update: from the looks of it, its seems to be just the bracket that just needs to be replace. What you guys think of this?

otherwise i might just source one for real cheap since i can't wait for shipping. Anyone know of any ep3 wrecking/part outs?
if anyone is looking to part out their aftermarket exhaust, let me know
