Probaby worth going for the tried and tested Bridgestone S03, Toyo T1-S or Goodyear F1 D2 unless you have good reason not too.
The older Continental Sport Contact IMO are really not good.
I have some 16" Continental ContiSportContacts which are ok.

I ran 205/50 R16 Conti on a standard MY99 - dreadful tyre in the wet although the lack of grip in the dry was fun (if you like understeer).

Changed to Eagle F1s and much much better
