Upgrade Front Speakers??....Help??

I want to upgrade the front door speakers and tweeters. I've already installed a 15" Kicker L7 with a 800w Kicker amp. I'm going to add a 2ch amp to power the new front component set but I'm going to leave the front center and rear deck speakers on the factory amp. Maybe I'll upgrade the rears in the future but most likely not. So my question is, can anyone recommend a good set of components for the front? I'm looking for ones that I will be able to just drop right into where the factory speakers and tweeters are (or were) with little to no modification. I'm looking for an upgrade in clarity and volume compared to the factory ones. My budget for just the speakers is $200-$250. I'll be choosing the amp after I've decided on which speakers I'll get. I've been looking at JBL, Kicker, JL and Polk but I'm CLUELESS as to which if any, would just "drop in" to where the factory ones were. My girlfriend has a 2010 Camry Hybrid which has a JBL sound system in it from the factory and I'm very impressed by the quality of both their clarity and loudness. Thanks everyone I appreciate and welcome any and all recommendations.

I put in jbl gto608c after doing a bunch of research on it. My main criteria was exactly yours...minimal modifications needed but better sound and volume. I got that with those and I only had to trim part of the white baffle. The tweeters were glued to the underside of the tweeter grill. Everything looks OEM

I'm actually considering a new set that requires spacers and rings because I like heavy mid bass. If you're interested in my plug and play set let me know you can have them for way way less than your budget. I installed these in April or May so only about 6 months of use.

There's not many that are plug and play. I think infinitys are the other.
