Which Camshafts

Hello All, I'm currently doing a timing belt and I'm also waiting for a cam cover gasket to get delivered.
 
I figured while I'm here, what better opportunity to throw a set of cams in. I'm thinking around 264 duration wise to keep driveabilty on the road, but I'm not sure about lift.
 
I'd rather not have to replace valve springs and retainers if I could avoid it.
 
Also what brands has everyone used?
 
Thanks in advance.

    Ive have only used HKS 272 ones.
    Being a gen3 you can run the higher lift ones as it has the shim under the bucket instead of it on top so it cant be flicked out.

    We recommend Brian Crower these days. HKS are tried and trusted also.

    Just sent you a PM Dylon.
     
    Also, I shouldn't need new valve springs for 8.74mm lift?
