M4 Upgrades?

So I got my gun a long time ago, and it was fine for starting out, but now that I'm using it allot more I'm finding it hard to stay competitive with. I like the body of it because its lightweight polymer (or whatever it's called), and I don't want to get a whole do gun. SO I thought I would put some new parts in it. Let me know what you think. I only have around $150.00 tops to spend in upgrades and I don't really want to spend all of it but whatever. I'm looking to get higher FPS out of it, better accuracy, and a higher rate of fire (although that's not as important as the other two...).

My M4: http://www.airsoftgi.com/product....id=7661
Springs I'm considering:
M110: http://www.airsoftgi.com/product_info.php?cPath=31_51&products_id=2457
M120: http://www.airsoftgi.com/product_info.php?cPath=31_51&products_id=2458
M130 (bad idea?): http://www.airsoftgi.com/product_info.php?cPath=31_51&products_id=5300

I have a lot more room in my budget to buy more upgrades so any input would be nice. I know what most of the parts do, I just have no clue which would be best for my gun.

Thanks!

Well I checked around, and a lot of places have the ideal parts out of stock. Either that or they have only a few in stock.
Basically you'll want a 6.03mm tightbore (madbull probably), a new piston head, m120 or sp120 spring, and if possible a good torque motor and set of gears.

I'm mainly listing this piston because it's basically getting a free piston for the price of the good piston head.
Asgi has nothing in the way of gears in your budget.

$97 shipped, piston/head isn't in stock though..

I'm not sure how well the stock gears would hold out to this set up though.

$142 shipped (evike has free shipping codes)

This is pretty pricey for what you get though. The piston is coming from HK anyway, so if you can wait 2-4 weeks for parts, then you could order right from a few HK retailers depending on who has what in stock. You'd get the same parts for good deal cheaper.

I have discount codes for asgi, so I'll probably go with them. If I do though, should I buy a motor or anything or just a spring? I'd rather buy everything from one site just for the sake of simplicity.

I basically listed everything from asgi that is worth getting for your setup. The only motor worth paying that price is the AMP, but then I'd probably only use it if I wanted to pull an m170+... And the Echo1s are just rebrands of motors that normally go for half that price.

If I don't get a better motor, would my ROF go down because of the new spring?

Probably a little. Though if you get a better motor your gears might be too stressed depending on how many amps your battery puts out.
