I am getting ready to replace rotors and pads on an 06 Jeep Liberty CRD and an 03 Cobra and will service the OEM calipers. The Cobra is getting prepped for OT use (still some street use) and I thought a brake caliper pin grease with high temp properties would probably be beneficial as I have quite a few Track Days planned for the coming season (I've been bitten!). Although the high temp properties look appealing, I have not used a grease with ceramic in it before. Permatex does state that it is compatible with the rubber and plastic hardware. I am particular when it comes to brakes so I am looking for the best grease that is available to me.

Some other high temp greases I have considered:

Was wondering how important it is for caliper pin grease to be high-temp in nature for OT use, and if the ceramic additive has any negative side effects, or has anyone had bad experiences with the above, in a DD or a race car.

I have searched high and low, inquired, but can not find any tech on this.

Opinions, experience, or advice appreciated.

From what I gather from the links is that the Silaramic grease is a no brainer. It has a working temp up to 3000 degrees. Nothing else even comes close, unless I am missing something.
