so do the upper mounts make any difference in the handling of the car ....i would like the front ones for the look but is there any reason to really get a set for the rear

They do almost nothing for handling other than allowing the suspension to compress more which may or may not make any difference depending on setup. For street driving, the only thing you will notice is that bumps are less harsh. I would only get them for the front end as well (but not for looks)...

Your upper control arms will be more likely to smash the shock towers if you run slammed with top hats. Just something to be aware of.
