I agree with Jack that the rotors and pads from IPD would be fine. I just installed rear pads and rotors (and e-brake shoes) from FCPGroton on my 850.
http://www.fcpgroton.com/volvo.htm (I think I saved about $25 on the same parts that IPD sells.)
I used the Zimmerman rotors and the Axxis Metal Master pads. The pads came with the teflon shims.
I have used many genuine Volvo pads and rotors in the past on my 850 and my 740 but have never seen a real advantage with the OE compared to these good quality parts from IPD or Groton.
I am not sure about those that are sold on ebay. It depends on how reliable the seller is. I have bought other parts on ebay without any problems - it all depends on the seller. Actually, I believe that Groton lists parts for sale on ebay sometimes. I would be careful buying brake parts from other sources that I was not familar with.
Sounds like you got a sweet T5 with only 88K!.....enjoy!
