You should be ok using copper grease.

I usually use the grease that comes in the sachet with the new sliders, or Moly grease.

 

Copper grease actually has particles of metal in it which could cause more wear to the slider, IIRC it was pugtorque that reminded me of this, so its not really suitable for bearing surfaces.

As above, DON'T use copper grease!

Thanks for the replies. I've found some red rubber grease so I'll put some in.

I'v allways found CV joint grease to be hugely effective.

I wouldn't use either of two types mentioned , in fact theres special temp. resistance grease for brake components , for this precise purpose (manufactured by ATE , TRW , Permatex etc. )

Ask around , you should be able to buy one in some better equipped car part store :)
