@Saving4aTL Just put in the Spec single-mass LW FW last weekend.
Just keep in mind that if you go to an unsprung single-mass light weight FW and non adjusting pressure plate, you should try and purchase a sprung clutch disc like the one below.
In addition, any clutch adjustment, with these types of 'upgraded' kits will have to be achieved at the clutch pedal.
Furthermore, clutch engagement points usually change as well. They have been known to land farther out than OEM kits around mid to 3/4 pedal.

I'm not familiar with dual mass flywheel and self adjusting pressure plate setups, but I've driven one with a single-mass flywheel and felt like I thought it should (not sure on clutch kit). I don't see any reason why just the SM flywheel wouldn't play nice with the adjusting pressure plate.
"Furthermore, clutch engagement points usually change as well. They have been known to land farther out than OEM kits around mid to 3/4 pedal."
That's reassurance on disengagement.

What's the reason for this?

That's reassurance on disengagement. Just normal

Thank you for enabling laziness today.
I did follow the threads and just did extensive reading. Kudos to the engineers who designed DM flywheels, but I'm really hating they went with that choice in these cars.

Spec is highly known to have quality control problems at their factory and the main reason that I will never own their products again.
Also, you can only use Spec clutches with their flywheels as the locating pins are larger and will only accommodate their pressure plates.
If you want to use a stock pressure plate, then you want an Aasco aluminum flywheel. As mentioned, you will need a disc with damping
springs. I have a couple brand new Aisin discs that will work with that setup if you decide to go that route.

A clever proprietary way to lock the consumer into having to purchase a complete clutch kit from you as well.
They are also competitively priced to the Spec SA40A-3 $548.10 before shipping for an 04 TL six speed.
Lowest I could find an Aasco #103212-11 was on ebay for $534.99 shipped.
