100k miles = regular maintenance, premix, etc
cant get heavier rotors, nor would you want them.
"better seals" is kinda relative... you could get ceramic seals, but you'll have low compression at low RPM.

I would highly recommend having your rotors and eshaft balanced, and keeping your RPMs under 8500 RPM. There's really no power to be had over 8k RPMs.
