My advise, keep it as stock and only bother getting replacement parts. Of the hell my ICS M4 has been through, I've only had to replace the tappet plate (from improper use of the Forward Assist [only suppose to use when after games and when opening mechbox for maintenance]) and hop up. Remember, ICS M4s can only take ICS hop ups. Then again, I'm not a Rambo who likes to hose people down with 3 consecutive minutes of automatic bursts.
However, if you really really want to run the risk of messing with your gun, I recommend contacting LUTNIT. I've always gone to him for gun work and general airsoft knowledge and he has yet to disappoint. He recently owned a super duper heavily modified and upgraded ICS M4, but downgraded and sold it, because it was too much of a headache to field. His ICS used to be a crazy monster, but I've seen him have to sit out or use a different gun in the middle of many games to deter me from heavily modifying or upgrading my ICS M4.
Again, if it shoots fine, I say leave it as it is. My 2 cents.
Good luck.

Thanks a lot. I am getting so many mixed opinions, that I am getting more and more confused the more advice I keep getting. haha. For me a perfect AEG is one that requires little to no fiddling and messing around with. I would much rather go for reliability over massive FPS, ROF. etc. etc. I agree with your advice, but I have a question. If I were to replace most of my upper gearbox, would it be a better idea to go with the ICS MA-54/56 complete uppers, replace the piston with a polycarb, then downgrade the spring (say M100/M110) and leave it at that? Would the stock gears be fine handling that sort of setup?
Cheers!
