One question I have is what's the best lube for the sleeves? I've used antiseize between the sleeves and bolts, but I know there are specific lubes for caliper sleeves.
Here are five good ones:
CRC 5339 Brake Caliper Grease.
Mission Automotive Silicon Grease.
Napa Sil Glyde Lubricating.
Permatex Brake Part Lubricant.
CRC 5351 Braking Grease.
I like the silicone based/synthetic lubes for caliper pins, sleeves, backing plates, etc., myself. Anti-seize is not the best lube in this application because the oils in the base mix of anti-seize can react with rubber seals and "O" rings causing the rubber to swell and/or break down. When using these lubes be sure to clean all parts completely. Do not let new and old lubes mix as they can react with each other and the result can be a lube that does not lube
