No, the rotors for the 4x2 have the bearings built into them. However Centric makes a conversion hub which enables you to use the 4x4 rotor.

Holy cow. When I ordered my 997 Turbo a few years back, the ceramic pads/rotors was an $8000 option 
This seems like a screaming deal! Ceramic pads are great as they produce little brake dust. 
Of course, the Porsche option is more than just the pads and rotors. They also included a much better set of calipers, in addition to reducing unsprung weight on each corner by more than 8 pounds. 32 pounds of unsprung weight on a car is quite a bit, on a truck, not so much.

I have found that aftermarket rotors sometimes have slightly out of spec exciter rings for the abs and can cause the abs light to come on and sometimes activate abs at any braking pressure. also sometimes no matter how careful you are abs sensors malfuntion after doing brakes sometimes just the lightest tap will jack em up.

I received the rotors and pads in a couple of days. A note comes in the boxes(2 boxes) stating that if there are any concerns to contact them and they will take care of it. Judging by their feedback rating they stand behind their product. They ask that you install and drive the brakes before leaving feedback. They appear to be of very high quality. I should have them on tomorrow so I'll update as soon as I can.

Well, I got the rotors and pads on. The job took about an hour and a half and everything went on very easily. They come with directions for the break in. The first few stops were a little long but as the break in(basically 10 stops, 5 from 40-5 without letting the brakes cool, then 5 from 25-5 allowing the brakes to cool between stops) advanced they bit harder and harder. Now they brake VERY hard. Almost violent compared to the OEM brakes. So far I can say they are well worth the money.
