Mitch,
Did the Suntour calipers really come with red pads, or is it
that shops typically sold them with the Scott-Mathauser
friction material? That's how I purchased the combination here
- from Rivendell, when they first started up their operation:

I'm actually not entirely certain how well these would work
with a road bike on a serious descent. They're on the front of
my track bike and come off for racing. The only real stopping
I do with this brake is to avoid tourists at Hains Point in
D.C.
