when I'm on 4th cruising ~40-45mph and coming to a stop, I rev match down shift to 2nd
if I'm on 3rd, I just let the rev drops to about 1000rpm and just go to netural and brake
if I'm on 4th at speed, need to slow down for an freeway exit, I heel toe double clutch to 2nd. I just find it smoother to double clutch to 2nd coming from like 80mph on 4th. or if I feel like it, I heel toe no double clutch to 3rd then to 2nd. i.e. I generally double clutch when I skip gears.
if I'm on 3rd on streets and needs to make a 90degree turn, I heel toe to 2nd.

rev-matching from 6th to 5th is not necessary in this car... they're like a few hundred rpm different at around 80mph.. besides... why go from 6th to 5th? What's 5th gear for apart from dyno?
