Use anti-seize. You can find a small tube of it at nearly any auto parts store like AutoZone.

The main advantage is that it keeps your brake pads wearing even.

There Is Special Grease Just For Use On Caliper Pivots. It Is Called Synthetic Brake Caliper Grease And Made By Sta-lube. Should Be Avail. At Any Auto Parts Store. Try Kragen, Schuk, Checker, Autozone Or Napa. Hope This Helps.
