possible...you could check by having someone take a
snapshot of the car in a corner, and see if the
distance the wheel comes off is less that the
difference in stroke between the OEM and Koni shocks.

nope, but you can replace the front bar, and I suspect
a larger one might limit body roll enough to keep the
inside rear on the ground.  Give that a try before you
look for shocks.
