then you are braking too late.
point is, 5-4-3-2 down shifting or braking at 5th and shift into 2nd before enter into the corner, it really doesn't matter as much. IMO it's more the personal preference.
again with close gear ratio like the FRS, skip a gear or two won't make much difference.
personally, I like to be in stay over 2000 rpm, where engine will still make decent power. If I drive a car that makes all its torque at 2000rpm, then honestly I will drive around town in 5th gear most of time.
