REAR Shock mounts ...should i replace them?

Car has close to 100k miles.
I am about to replace stock struts/shocks with Tokico Illumina and keep the OEM springs.

I know that i should replace the FRONT strut mount and strut bearings.

My question is, is it a good idea to also replace the REAR shock mounts? Do these go bad with high mileage?

I don't think that my Front or Rear mounts are currently bad (and they may be reusable) however, based on your experience with cars that have 100k+ miles on, should i replace these parts while i am doing the struts/shocks?

What about the rubber strut "bellows"? The stock ones "look" fine but i am not sure how much they have left in them.

Thanks!

I see no replies on these questions.
I guess.....everyone who replaced their REAR shocks did NOT replace the shock mounts.
If that's the case....I'll do only the fronts.
