how often do you work on your brakes and suspension? it may not be worth it if you're rarely going to be using it.
but a good air compressor would be one with a motor that fills the tank up faster and also the bigger the tank the better. that one you have in the picture will have the motor almost running every minute with airtools. its annoying to hear the compressor motor because it's so fricken loud especially in a closed garage. so for just undoing lug nuts and suspension bolts, it should do the job. get quality air tools btw, not the ****ty all-in-one sets cuz they will break a lot sooner. but for continuous use of air tools like grinders, sanders, air hammers etc, you'll need a MUCH bigger tank and a high performing compressor.
