strut bags are air suspension. there are different types of air suspension. bags, cylinders/rods. there are some branches and strut bags are a branch of air bags. and yes it would be worth it to get a FBSS setup compared to just an FB. with FB, you only have front/back motion which is boring. also there are problems with the air transfering from one side to the other when turning. so i would think you'd have to buy additional parts anyways. difference between 1/2 and 3/4 are the size of the lines. of course bigger, the faster you move air/the faster you raise/lower. i'm not sure if you can or if its even smart with bags but i know you could even hop the car like with hydraulics. but ya it depends on the lines. civicpunker bought his kit from them. if your really serious about getting them, you might want to message him. and if you havnt already please read the air suspension faq.
