Do you think I can get away with using di-lithium grease (that I use for the slide on my garage door) on the pins that the disk pads slide on? I am going to have the wheels off to flush and refill the diff so I thought I could lube those at the same time.

What he said above but if your going to do it, why don't you do it with the right stuff? After all, you're going to take them out to do it right? and replace the cotter pin?
Doesn't really matter much, as nothing is really moving relative to anything else in a fixed Corvette caliper; the caliper is solid-mounted and the pads are in constant contact with the rotor surface and only move a few thousandths when you step on the brakes. It IS important on all other cars with single-piston calipers, as their calipers must slide laterally on the pins in order to press the pads against the rotors, especially if the pads are worn.
