Its always good practice to heel and toe, or at least rev match on the downshift all the time you drive. I couldnt do it in my focus due to poor pedal positioning, so i bought some sparco pedal covers, bolted them on, now the throttle pedal is lower down and wider than it was, so now heel and toeing is a doddle!! I do it at all times now.
It will help prolong the life of all or you transmission and ancilleries. Plus if uve got a nice k&n roar and bulrble from a straight through exhaust downshifting sounds wickid!
I found the hardest part to gettin it right is being able to keep the pressure on the brake pedal constant if you are braking normally, and being able to then swing your heel round and blip the throttle without puttting extra pressure on the brake pedal.
When you are ragging your brakes its easier, cus you are pushing the brake pedal a lot harder than normal.
