Default 08 Clutch Replace

Helping a friend replace a clutch on a 08 V6. Having trouble finding a after market clutch. I found a Spec Stage 1 but it says you have to buy spec fly wheel to run that clutch. After doing a little research i seen that one person on another forum said you could run the spec with with the stock flywheel. Has anyone done this or does anyone know why the May of 07 and after clutches are different and making it hard to find a replacement.
Thanks, Tim

May 07+ they used a dual plate flywheel (I'm pretty sure its called something else, can't think) to cut down on drivetrain noise, 05-06 is just a regular flywheel (whatever you call it). And I believe you can use just a SPEC clutch and a resurfaced stock flywheel, I plan on doing it myself.

I see alot of "I think" and "I believe" when I Google around but have not seen posts where people have used a spec clutch on a after May 07 stock flywheel. Do you guys have websites that stock parts for the V6. I've gone to all the normal Mustang sites and no one seems to carry a clutch for an 08.
I know I can go to the stealership but I know there has to be a cheaper option out there

I seen that one on Lethal but the same part # is on AM with this also listed.
"Technical Notes:
V6's built from 2005 to December 2006 will use Spec flywheel part# SF66A or can reuse the stock factory flywheel with the SF66 Clutch.
V6's built from January 2007 to June 6th 2007 must use Spec flywheel part# SF66A with the SF66 Clutch.
V6's built from June 6th 2007 to present must use Spec flywheel part# SF66A-2 with the SF66 Clutch."
