i would also upgrade gears, piston, silent piston head and cylinder set, tappet plate....everything really and throw in a new M120 or possibly a Modify 100 like stalker said..... so everything is reliable as hell and last as long as possible because i dont really trust the stock ICS internals from wht ive heard.
Use a lighter spring and it'll be no problem. Mine at the time had a Prometheus 110 in it, metal bushings and a Guarder tappet plate (I got it used, so had to replace it) but ZERO other upgrades, and I was clearing a large rock 200ft away at Sniper Hunt last year. So just put in a Modify 100 spring, leave the parts you have in there, they should be fine, and just replace what yo uneed to, when you need to (oh ya, some items in your ICS gun can only be replaced by ICS parts, is true regarding the M4 series, can't exactly see the two being that much different. Just a heads up anyways, no point in your wasting $200 on parts only to find that $100 worth of the parts won't work in your ICS). And just because you pay more for aftermarket parts like Systema, doesn't mean that your gun will be more reliable. I've seen the opposite at least a dozen times of the past few years of being a gun tech.

Regarding my MP5A, I've added more upgrade parts to it over the winter, tightbore, bearing spring guide, Modify 90 spring, Trigger Master unit (set for 2rd burst), and even though it's only shooting 320-330fps right now, 150ft using 0.28g BBs has been done, just haven't had a chance to try for farther yet, I've only used the gun once and was a night game.

Largely I've busted the myth regarding one needing high fps to get range, it's completely false. I had to downgrade my CA M24 sniper rifle to 340fps for a game, and when setting it up I was still able to get 0.30g BBs out to close to 300ft.

Nushell for range and penetration, upgrade the ammo first, then upgrade the gun. 400fps is no more effective than 370-380fps, it only wears your parts out faster.
