No. I looked them up based on the numbers provided in the first post:
Front: HB667Z.622
Rear: HB664Z.634
When I went to Pelican and typed in my car (2009 Targa 4S), only rear's showed up. I expanded to search to include all 997 cars, and was able to find them by the number.

I just got the rears in yesterday, and will install this weekend. But if you read through this thread, everyone seems to agree that the rears are HB664Z.634.

I ve used these pads on vettes for years and my 15' Z51 created dust like a West Texas drought. As soon as I need them, they are getting installed. Happy to see the great results. My 11' 4S shows dust not as bad as the vette but very visible.

Oddly enough the chart you've shown (and the one I downloaded trying to double check this) doesn't seem to list a non-S Carrera 4 with iron rotors. I'm pretty sure the one you have listed for the front is for cars with carbon ceramic rotors. I ran into this with my prior C4 a couple of years ago but I seem to have given the paperwork with the correct ones listed to the dealer to give to the next buyer. Dang. I bought the wrong one the first time so I know it is easy to get wrong.
The safest thing I can recommend is to find a firm post by another 997.1 Carrera 4 owner saying which one is correct or maybe even make a fresh post with the title something like "Correct Hawk Pad for a 997.1 C4?". You can also take a look at a known Carrera 4 pad shape (maybe your own if you can get a good enough look) and compare it to the diagrams starting on their catalog page 184.
As to your other question, the pad compound values are listed on that download on page 9. "Z" is Performance Ceramic, "F" is HPS Performance Street. You want the Z of course.

Do you have the part numbers handy ?

Finished the rears today.
I can confirm that the part numbers posted above for the S cars are correct, both front and rear:
Front: HB667Z.622
Rear: HB664Z.634
Rears were easy-peasy. Even the new sensor wires were easier to route than the fronts. Didn't take much time at all.
Looking forward to spending less time cleaning the wheels.

Braking seems the same to me in everyday driving. I really don't notice a difference from stock. My car is a daily driver, and not a track car, so I can't comment on any differences in track conditions.
Brake dust is much less, but it is still there (based on the front wheels, done last week). Like other's have said, it's a lighter color, so much less noticeable.
I use the Armor All Wheel Protectant, so what little brake dust there is on the wheels wipes right off.
Overall, I'm very happy with the change.
