If you drive with your eyes, most of your braking can be reduced by simply lifting off the throttle rather than mashing the pedals.
Win win for brakes and transmission.
Your car has plenty of other mechanical weak spots, you don't need to create new ones.
That's how I drive too. I shift the car out of gear and let it cruise to a stop or a freeway exit and apply the brake as needed. The brakes have been lasting very long this way.
