33k is not a lot, especially for an 02, but def not necessary unless your saying your going to be putting a gear in as well

if your puting gears in aswell then its just safe insurance and cheaper because everythings already open and there is no reason not to. but if your not doing a gear install there is no reason at all to install new bearings

If you're doing a gear install I totally recommend getting the bearing kit.

If your car had less than 15k on it then I would pass on it, but 30k is a substancial amount of wear on your original bearings.
