According to wikipedia, a 914 is 48.4" tall. Even lowered, I wouldn't think it would be much lower. I had 2 miatas, and they were both supposed to be the same height. One was lowered a bit, so maybe as low as 47" on that one. I once chatted with a guy that drove a Beck 550 (40" tall) from Houston to somewhere is Louisiana on I10 (200-250 miles or so). He said that was a bit uncomfortable.
