Can't comment on Gaz as I don't have them but my AVO's are top notch and do exactly what I want on track....

can comment on the Gaz but i had AVO coilovers on my Clio and they were fantastic on the road but they started leaking after 2 and a bit years. So i repolaced them with Koni adjustable's which were crap in comparison

where could i get the oil seals replaced?

You can get a coilover rear from AVO but your rear turret needs modding
