Default Grease(lubricant) required for replacing brake pad?

I will be replacing front brake pads soon by myself. Am I going to need brake pad grease or lubricant for AUDI s4?

Not required, but just good practice. The little grease packets are about .99 at auto parts stores and it adds less than 5 minutes to the total labor time.

A little grease on the slider pins helps make sure the pads wear evenly.
Anti-squeal paste on the backsides of the pads helps keep the pads from making too much noise.

Check out this install video - I used lube and the pads are quiet as ever! Hope this helps!
