ok, i'm sure most of you don't do this... but i occassionally use my eshift to downshift to engine brake in combo with my brakes... how bad is this? i mean... the most the rev will go up to (from down shifting) would be around 3k rev/min maximum.

i always drive with eshift on to be ready to use for... any reason... including braking and speeding up by using a lower gear. maybe that's why i spend so much on gas... lol

and where's the snow man!! snow drifting?!?!?!

Yikes.... I've always believed the rule.... Brake pads are cheaper than clutches. Engine braking causes undue heat under load. Just buy better pads.

ditto... i would only due that in an emergency situation where you need to brake harder...

just like todd said buy better pads or go supra TT 4 piston swap setup/ bbk (rotora/endless/etc...)

yeah...only time i engine brake is when im passing a cop that is trying to catch speeders, i can slow down w/o hitting my brakes and make him pay attention to me.

Does this cause a weird burnt smell? lol

no... On my porsche sometimes it would if i let the clutch slip too much.
