I'm a hair under 5 feet tall and I've been doing just fine. I have gear that fits reasonably well. I highly recommented rev'it overpants because they have a velcro strap to secure the bottom of the pant legs and it keeps them from dragging. Jackets shouldn't be too much of a problem. women's gear should be small enough. Dainese has a good range of sizes, although their stuff is more expensive. Alpinestars makes boots in smaller sizes.
I've had a lowered 250 before and I lowered the 300 I have now, but honestly at this point I actually want to raise it back up. Once you get more comfortable, you really don't need both feet on the ground.
I highly recommend the MSF BRC.
