What are you folks using for caliper grease (for slider pins etc)? I have some friends that have found the permatex stuff swells the bushings (lots of comments on the web support this) and has stuck with the ford xg-3-a (our manual makes no reference to this though).
I couldn't find any evidence of a temperature rating though for the ford stuff. Curious if anyone had used it on a car that sees track time.

I've been using something called 'CRC Synthetic Brake Caliper Grease' on all of my cars (it's black in color). It held up to at least intermediate-level track driving on my '08 even when that car still had the little 2-piston 12.4" front brakes that would certainly run hotter than 14" or bigger Brembos in comparable driving.

For what it is worth here was how I proceeded: permatex high temp stuff on areas not contacting bushings (this took care of the brembos in the front), and used the Ford stuff for things like the pins on the rear calipers.
