If you use the Honda bushings that go with the Si Sway bars (i.e. buy them when you buy the sway bars), you shouldn't use any grease. The Honda bushings are rubber which don't require grease (other materials like polyurethane/plastic do require a lubricant).

I have have my front and rear Si sway bars on for a few months now (with the honda bushings), and have had no noise or problems. Well, actually on the first day, they made a bit of noise going over speed bumps, but nothing since then.
