Just about any 6x9 will fit without any modification. It all depends on how much you are willing to spend.

Go to www.crutchfield.com

They have an application guide that will tell you all you wanna know about anything as far as mounting depths and which products they carry will fit your car.

There are hundreds of good sounding 6x9s out there, but in general you can get much better results by changing the 4x6s first, although changing all 4 is definately the best bet. BUT, adding new speakers to the stock radio isn't going to make a big improvement. The bandwidth and power output of the stock radio is severely limited.
