Default different springs in the front n back, bad for the car?

I installed eibach pro-kit springs on the front, but I couldn't get the rear struts off (complications with some bolts) so I'm just taking the car to a shop to have them do the rear. So basically, my front end is on prokits and my rear end is on stock springs. Obviously this is gonna look kinda funny, but does this have any negative effect on my car? Like the weight distribution or nething?
Because I'm gonna be driving the car like this to the shop, and I'm wondering if I should try to drive it as little as possible because I'll be wearing something away, OR if I can drive it all I like and there's nothing wrong with it other than the fact that it'll look funky as hell. So, help anybody?

You'll make it to the shop just fine.

...what if I were to drive around for the weekend with them? Or longer? Basically, what effects (if any) does this "setup" have?
