Default Grease for 2004 STI Struts

I've decided to be brave and have a go at regreasing the rear struts on my Impreza. Can someone recommend a grease for doing this, I found a link to Scoobypedia for doing it but mentions Mobil 1 Synthetic Red Grease, but I can't seem to find it in this country. Also I read on here about something to do with washers helping solve it too although a bit confused by this and also how it's done. Any help would be greatly appreciated. The noise is driving round the bend

I used JCB blue HP grease in mine, dont think it matters too much as long as its not the cheap "margarine style" stuff that IM use.

OK thanks for that. Did it do the job and stop the clunking?

Excellent, thanks. Anyone know anything about putting these washers or spacers in?
