Mismatch shock in the rear

Over the weekend I had my brand new Eibach Pro Kit lowering spring and Koni Yellow installed on my 2010 335i E90 M sport. Unfortunately one of the Koni yellow in the rear bolt was strip so my mechanic could not install it so he used only one Koni for one side and the stock sport shock on the other side for the rear until we get another Koni for the rear. I do notice the wheel is not as planted to the road, but I haven't done alignment yet.

Would this cause problem with the suspension if I drive with mismatch shock in the rear or should I wait until I received another Koni Yellow before I drive the car? Thanks in advance.

On the shaft or the bottom of the shock? If on the bottom they could have easily re-threaded it.

The shock wouldn't be affecting this.

It wouldn't. Drive worry free
Let us know how it works out!

Yes, my mechanic will try to re-thread the bottom of the Koni shock first before I order a new one.

Does the car drive any different after I get an alignment done on a lowered car?

Probably your mechanic stripped the thread in the first place. Of course the car will drive differently. However, not only because of the alignment. What exactly are you asking?
