Whats the best grease to use on the sliders on LS1 front and rear brakes? Wondering whats best and what everyone uses.

 

I spred on a layer of copper based anti seize.
But now I got a can of Molybendium Disulfide dry lube spary and will most likely use that now.
I never did do any LS1 breaks, just disk breaks in general.

 

sylglide, most parts stores carry it, silicone based lube unaffected by normal brake heat.

 

Silicone grease on the floater pins, copper grease between the caliper and knuckle/caliper bracket.

 

With a name like Meatman, I'd have to say use KY Lubricant.

Sorry, Couldn't resist. Seriously, we use Raybestos Silicone Brake Lubricant, Part#DBL-2, on caliper slides.

 

Would synthetic wheel bearing grease work? Just curious because I'm going to grease the slider pins and everything one of these days and was curious if that stuff would work.

 

Not really sure. I like to use the silicone grease because it won't cause the rubber pieces to swell up, and it doesn't get thick in the cold weather.

 

If it heats up to much the grease could end up where you don't want it.

 

I've always used chassis moly grease on them.

Probably not the best solution, but it will at least keep rust at bay for a while.

 

This is also a key reason to use copper grease between the caliper and bracket. It is very thick, and helps to transfer the heat - use it sparingly though. The silicone grease in the floater pins is sealed off, and isn't an issue.
