    Alrighty, when it comes to lubricating those brake caliper guide pins on your Fiat Bravo, not all greases are created equal. You wanna avoid the stuff that makes rubber boots swell up like a pufferfish at a birthday party—that's a big no-no.

    The consensus from folks who’ve been down this road is to go with a high-temp silicone-based grease or a specific caliper guide pin lubricant. These bad boys keep the pins sliding smooth without messing with the rubber dust boots and handle the heat that brakes throw at them like champs.

    Some swear by names like 3M Silicone Paste or specialized brake caliper lubricants from brands like Liqui Moly. Just make sure whatever you pick is rubber-safe and designed for high temperatures—because your brakes get way hotter than your average kitchen stove.

    So, clean off those pins good, slap on a thin coat of the right grease, don’t overdo it (a little goes a long way), and you’ll be sliding into smooth stops like a pro. No weird creaks or seize-ups, just buttery brake action.

    In short: silicone or a purpose-made brake caliper pin grease. Skip the general-purpose stuff and save your brakes (and your ears) the drama!
