depends on if you can get the assembly new cheap. junk yards seem to be charging 70 bucks each for assembly and those bearings may be worse than yours. my guess would be that you buy the bearings and press into your existing hub if your hub is in good condition. pressing in two is probably not more expensive than pressing one. rotors are only 10 bucks so id buy some of them if they are at all bad.
