My pads and rotors were replaced at 33k and 3mm left on the pads. I brought a copy of the TSB with me. They gave me a loaner but called me later in the day to tell me the job would be delayed as they needed to also replace the rotors and needed to order them. Lexus of Thousand Oaks, they were great.

It's not good for engine service life. It wears the rings faster than just using the brake and putting in the clutch when you get around 1000 rpm. It also wears the clutch more than if you didn't downshift.
It is fundamental to racing because it's the best way to get around the track at speed. But keep in mind, racing assumes a much greater maintenance frequency and much more frequent parts replacement. It's just considered part of the cost of going fast.

I just had an 250 in for the 10K oil change. I let them know that my breakes were squeeking and that there was 'cut' in my passenger rotor. They're replacing both front rotors + pads under warranty.

Would downshifting as approaching stops (say under 2k-rpm) again, significantly shorten the tranny life?
