    Well the Ver 7 JDM EJ 207 is just the engine so unless I'm missing something any coilover that fits a usdm 05 wrx will fit....

    Does the swap include the trans (hubs, axles, rear diff) and brakes? Either way I think anything that fits the GD 5x100 wheels (usdm 04 sti, usdm 02-07 wrx) used the same width clevis joint at the lower strut mount.

    Any appropriate coilovers you want to run will be fine with that swap. If you're thinking the weight of the motor will offset it, it won't.
