Default 4th to 3rd Downshifting?

I've noticed sometimes I can feel the tranny downshifting by itself while im doing a slow brake stop through the brake pedal sometimes from 4th to 3rd gear, is this normal? 97Es

Yup, it's normal. I sometimes feel it in my '03ES and asked my Lexus service guy, and he told me that the transmission shifting logic was designed to do exactly what you're experiencing.

Cool

Yes.
Also remember the torque convertor also unlocks - which many people mistake for gear shifting.
