???need to grease my stock upper bearings - what to use??????

I will be putting in my tein SS's soon, and will need to re-grease my upper bearings. A member here suggested Panef Corp L300 POWDER GRAPHITE LUBE, anyone know of a similar product I can use if I can't find this lube in time? Shocks will be comming in about a week, so need to know ASAP.
Thanks!

Boilermaker1 is a splendid one to behold

I use lithium grease and have never had a problem. You should be able to find something that is some sort of graphite lube at a hardware store.

the coilover would have to be dissasembled. It goes around the bearing which seats in the upper mount. It is plastic.
