I found some on ebay...$250 plus shipping, they are progressively wound and lower 1.6" all around. Anyone know about the quality of these?

I have them and they're great. Not quite the 1.6" drop they claim though.
Do a search for more info... this has come up MANY times before..

I have them, they feel pretty good so far. Only driven about 100 miles so far.
I think they lowered by 1" or so. I'll see if i got before and after pics.

just put them on about 100 miles ago also, and they lowered 1 inch rear, .8-.9 inch rear, i think if i remember correctly. pretty much any spring you get claims a drop, but usually expect about a little more than half of that....
I put B+G springs on, and they should be lower, but i didn't expect a large drop.
a little stiffer than stock, but not by much, i can only tell on the crappy LA potholes..
Oh, and I paid $135, total including shipping for mine, and $100 to get them installed....$250 is too high....
search around, you may get lucky like I did!
oh, and if you want new, then www.shox.com is a good option...there is a VolvoSpeed discount

edit: I saw a kid that had a black 850R on cardomain. He talked about how he didn't like Volvos, but he took down an SRT-4 w/ it...right, it's all stock. He put Eibachs on it and took a before and after pic of the rear wheel. He said he got "huge results." I swear he had a 300 lb. kid lift up the back end for the before pic, and a 450 lb. kid sit on the trunk for the after pic...it was probably a 4 inch difference...jackass.
