If you match revs, the clutch will see little wear from downshifting. But you are wearing the backside of the gears in the tranny and you're also making your synchros work unless you are double-clutching. A stoplight drag race will put lots more stress on your clutch than a 'proper' downshift.
What do I do? Double-clutch heel-toe downshifts. It is fun, great practice for the track, and entirely legal. I have yet to start using LFB on the street....
