Any silicon based grease should do the trick. I've used ATE brake cylinder paste for every rubber part like dust seals and o-rings (mainly on the coolant system, makes it easy to install too). If you replace any of the original Lemförder parts the dust seals are usually still intact, so take them aside just in case.
