Default Suspension Issue. Okay to drive?

So finally...I was ready to upgrade the suspension today. (98 dc4)
I went with a Tein SS and Omnipower LCAs.
First time ever on a suspension change with a lot of rust to deal with and some serious work.

All that we were able to change due to time was the rear shocks n springs and the lower control arm.
Only one control arm was put on because the time it took to get the one bolt out of the knuckle of the far side of the OEM LCA was so LONG!

So now im riding on 2 front SHITTY no-name coils with tein rear suspension and 1 rear LCA. Is this okay to be driving around like this for another week. I can not get to the new changes until sunday and if its a serious problem, I would much rather not drive the car.

Its my DD and i usaully JUST drive to work about 30 mins away.

Any opinions?

it looks like it should be okay, if it for a short drive and everything was put on correctly and nothing is loose.

I'd put some crappy tires (crappy as in cheap, not crappy as in no tread left) on there if you plan on driving before things are done, and drive carefully. Your alignment is most likely off.
