Some have reported minor benefit from spring spacers/adjusters. These devices preload the spring. While this helps with the dynamic response rate and perhaps static loading height, it will make no difference in ride height under dynamic load, such as while driving, which is when you are having the problem.
If you have a blown shock anyway, you can try the Koni approach since that gives you a slightly higher perch (make sure the installer uses the higher perch). I have not personally seen or tried this set up. I believe it might work for some, but that does not mean it works for all or that there is not a major design defect in the 9-5. Eventually, we may no the answer.
If your subframe is very bad, I doubt the nominal height you might gain from the Koni perch will produce any benefit under dynamic conditions. According to Abbott Racing which sells an adjustable spring perch for the 9-5, the benefits are only under static conditions.
I would jump on any fix for which there was conclusive evidence that it fixed both the alignment and ride height issues. To my knowledge no such fix exists and it isn’t clear if one could be made for the 9-5.
