I am running C5's in my WRX and had Hybrid Audio Imagine series in my BRZ. I actually prefer the sound of the C5. I find them to be very neutral sounding (the Hybrid Audio speakers were just a tad too bright for me). The JL's do need decent power to sound their best though so you will want to make sure you are powering them with a 100 watt @4 ohm RMS per channel amp. They are also pricey, but I found mine brand new on Ebay for just under $300. Honestly the cheaper JL component speakers sounded pretty good to me as well.

I would try to demo some different speakers. You will get lots of opinions and usually people will recommend what they own My installer was really pushing Hertz speakers on me, but I really liked the JL C5's, just not at the price he was quoting me (MSRP).
