RE: What is this?
you could call them and ask. i doubt they have their own "silicone grease plant", but if it's not expensive i'd just get it from bmr to be safe. i just got the a-arms and am going to be in the market for some myself. i'm sure you could get people to say "just use generic but similar silicone grease" and others will say "only use BMR" but why risk it one way or the other, unless of course you're stranded on a desert isle with your stang and only have generic non-BMR grease, right?!

Make sure you get a grease that is not petroleum based. There are some out there that have silicone added to grease (oil). The petroleum is the bad stuff you don't want on those bushings.

Another quick question about the zerks. Can you turn them some because the way they are now i would have to take the LCA off every time i need to greas them, if i could turn them a quarter turn then i coule access them.

a stab in the dark, but you could try it at least for lubing the parts and then turn them back for regular use. i could be wrong, but you should be able to see the silicone come out from around the bushings so you'll know when it's where it needs to go, then you can stop and turn the zerk back to the original position.
