I decided a few years ago that brake pads and rotors are cheaper than clutch component replacements so I no longer use engine braking by downshifting. Not sure if that's what you meant Perfectlap, but thought it would be good to add to this thread.

Shouldn't really have been doing that anyway. If you rev match your downshifts, you shouldn't get much clutch wear at all.
