I've got 16" FTRs and i've gone with Bendix ultra pads and about to install dba slotted rotors when I can be bothered.
All fit in behind the 16" rims & provides better braking.

They should be good enough.
Quality pads is a good place to start. Correct braided lines will give you a better feel. Flush out all the fluid and replace is a must.
