However, when coming to a stop I don't bother to downshift anymore, I just keep it in gear and disengage the clutch when the RPM's approach 1000. I find that with the SRM you just don't get the compression braking to make it worth putting the extra use on your clutch. I'd rather change brake pads than a clutch kit.
i use 3rd when coasting to a stop. considering ive NEVER had to change a clutch on a car that i bought new (or used for that matter) i dont think there is any noticeable premature wear.

I like to shift to second so I can hear the revving... it makes me happy

you and 90st are probably seasoned drivers (i'm sure others are aswell) but for me i'm like... noob to manual so I've probably put my fair share of wear n tear.... guess i'll start looking at a quote for the HDCSC + Master + labour.... me no so good mechanically

Since the SRM has already increased the engine speed to the right spot electronically the output shaft does feel the resistance of the engine from the increasing RPM and therefore the vehicle does not slow down any faster than if it had been in neutral the whole time.

Hope that makes sense, almost confused myself a bit there.
well that makes sense, after you go
