can't decide, does it pay to have hte rear brakes upgraded too? or would the front be sufficient?

I've only got front, and they do a damn fine job. If you've got the money to do both, why not, but bear in mind that the rears don't take a lot of the punishment because all of the weight is in the front end (hence the fact they're much smaller).

I will upgrade my rears at some point, after a few other delicacies!!!

I've got just front Stoptech 355's and have road in a car with a 4wheel Stoptech kit. It just feels overall more balanced. Just the front brakes still stop great both on the street and track, but you might see a second or two off your track time with a four wheel kit.
