What type would you use? I read that copper grease is no good for the plastic/nylon cups on the arm?

Need to grease up the spindles so wondering what type?

Copper grease is not a lubricant, it is an anti-seize compound and as the name suggests it stops such as threaded components seizing together.
It should be used on solid bolted joints that will not move in service. For example the rear subframe trunnion to body bolts are an ideal application.
For any slow moving (sliding, rotating) then grease is to lubricate, as Wolfie says EP grease is what is required.

Alright lads cheers, I have some copper that I'll use for mounting the subframes and I'll get some of the stuff suggested by Wolfe for the other bits.

Nice one....
