I am rebuilding brake calipers on an Acura. I might as well buy grease that I'll be able to use on the Porsche Seals in the future.

I need to grease the Brake Piston Rubber Seals. It is hard to find much info on this. So far, I found an old Honda Service Bulletin that recommends: Dow Corning 111 Silicone Paste on brake system seals (supposedly very good for suspension bushings BTW!).

The Porsche 993 Service Manual does not have much on Brake Caliper Rebuilding. It does mention: Unsilikon TK44 N2 Brake Cylinder Paste 000.043.117.00. Is that to lubricate the rubber seals too?

What do you "Gurus" like to use?

Dow 111 is great for this. But the 111 might cost more than the caliper seals themselves!

Tilton Engineering offers assembly grease as well, in much smaller tubes.
