Default WRX v3-v4 or STI V3-V4 cams?

Hello everyone!!
I would like some help in order to identify
the stock cams that were in the car.
The engine is an ej20k.
The only accurate info I can give is the cam lift
which is 8.4mm.
Base circle is 34mm and the lobe height 42.4mm
if I am correct 42.4-34=8.4mm of lift.

Thanks for reading!!

Post some pictures up of the cams - makes it a lot easier to identify.

Which cam did you measure to get your lift figure ?

Hello Mick,
Thanks for your reply.
A measure all the camshafts with
a calliper and it gave the above numbers.
I will post some pics from the cams with the calliper on them.
For now I have some pics from the cams.

I believe STi cams, L4Ex L4IN and R4IN/EX are how they are usually labelled up

They look like WRX cams Harry.

STi Version 3~4 heads will have:
EH and IH valves.
Under Bucket shims for valve clearance adjustment.
White colour coded valve springs
Cam markings (lines through the letters) as below

I want to thank both of you guys for the help identifying the camshafts!!!
It seems that STI and WRX models(ej20k) had the same valve lift...?
The only thing that changes is the line on the cast and maybe the duration.
I did a good search and found the below info.
I hope this would be helpful for future questions!!
Thanks again Mick and JGlanzaV
Harry
