Size isn't really important
Virgin charge £40 to bring an extra bag which can weigh a max of 23kg, the bars boxed weigh 13.6kg. I don't think they're any real restrictions to the hold baggage size, call them and check though and get the name of whoever you speak to and keep a note of it.
You know what, I *could* fly to Florida for £90 on a work flight and bring back a few sets for you lot. But what a pain in the arse that'd be.

Dunc - I dunno if this helps, but the box took up the whole width of the rear seats on a brand new VW Passat I had in Miami, the latest one. Check the Passat brochure for dimensions?

Re: Another Hotchkis ARB convert
MRC charged me an hours labour, so you're only looking at £50/60. I got charged £90, dunno why buy couldn't be bothered to query it as needed to get to work and Doug was away. I don't think their £68 labour rate includes VAT?

Re: Another Hotchkis ARB convert
I noticed that today Dunc but I would say give them a call and they probably still do sell them. If Amar keeps going on like an old woman about them then I might just give a set a whirl for the hell of it! That or I could just ask Grizz if there is any point when compared to the H&R's that I already have as I would expect he would know having sold both now 

Current:
23' C8 RS6 Vorsprung - 23' RS E-Tron GT Carbon Vorsprung
Gone:
"Brutus"- C5 RS6 Avant - MRC stage 2 - Milltek non-res + 100 cell cats - Wagner ICs - PSS9 - H&R ARBs - OZ Superturismo LM - C6 Custom brakes - HD RNS-E - Various other bits - 555PS/832Nm
"Taz"- C7 RS6 - MRC stage 2 745PS/1095Nm
12' Cayenne Turbo, B7 RS4, S3, Cupra R, XJR, EVO VII, STI8,5,2&WRX, 106 GTI&XSI, other crap.

Re: Another Hotchkis ARB convert
We need grizz to have his say on here really. I'm looking into it before I go to vegas, will bring some back if its cheaper that way. If the h&r are as good then me will have some of them instead.
