But going back to the thread topic. I wore my brake rotors down descending mountain ranges without engine braking.
From what I read around you shouldn't be trading engine breaking for brakes, so long as you have a fuel injected engine, the fuel will cut off and the engine just spins (0 gas use + braking power). I am just a noob but thats what I read on other threads.
