what kind of grease to use...?

when I replace my suspension I want to put grease on the threads on all the nuts and bolts so they don't rust and get stuck over time(in case I need to get them off again). Is there a specific kind that I should use? or will any grease do. Also I wanted to use exhaust gasket material for the strut spacers like another member on here did, but I am having trouble finding some. I have tried a couple of auto parts stores. Anybody know where I can find it?

the grease might cause the nut to back out over time from vibration.

You want Anti-Seize not grease.

Check your local hardware store.

Use a small amount of Anti-seize. I found gaskt material at an Auto Parts Store. Comes in large squares.
