I had saloon shocks accidently fitted to my estate & that bounced & bottomed. Saloon types are longer but seem softer than estate ones so I wonder if fitting estate shocks to a saloon might cause something similar?

mine is 97 2.5 cd.. I changed all shocks.. and car height is nearly same as spec.. but I still touch speed bumpers if not very slow, even there is no load other than me.. :-/

ps: generally cats are the ones to touch first..

When you say it "bottoms" out are you refering to the mudflaps scraping if so it's not too much to worrie about unless the handling is compromised.
The Omega was fitted with state of the art self adjusting mud flaps. On bumpy roads the gradually abraid themselfs on the tarmac until they dont catch. or if you drive in an area that has peticulary rough roads they snap themselves off altogether so as not to annoy or concern the driver.

Yeah mine split over the winter so they are now in a landfill somewhere. I notice the difference though with crap on the sides of the car!
