Air compressor advice/suggestions

The air compressor in my CS does not work... and takes forever to fill up. Porsche wants $270 for a new compressor.

What do you guys suggest an alternative would be? I was thinking of this one but am not sure if it would fit in the CS compressor area.

I want one that I would like to use once a month to check tire pressure on the vehicle, so it should be a good reliable one that can take once a month air filling task.

Thanks...

That looks like it would much better than one from sears. How often do you use the compressor?

Are you sure it's the compressor? There's a rebuild kit that you can buy and install that is cheap and easy that helps when the compressor is taking too long to adjust the vehicle height.

Dennis C: It is not the suspension air compressor. I should have said Tire inflation kit compressor.

After I tried to inflate my kid's stroller this past weekend, it sure looks like it is a goner. Does not fill up those tiny tires at all. I just need to have one so I can inflate tires to proper pressure once a month instead of filling at the gas station.

Here is one on ebay you can probably get for about $100 with shipping or less.
