Default OK to lower the rear but not the front?

Ok heres the story. I had RS-R springs on, but my front tires were wearing out to quickly because my camber was out. So i went ahead and installed my factory springs on the FRONT, and as I was about to do the rear when I noticed the car doesnt actually look bad with the RS-Rs still on the rear. I know the RS-Rs rear spring rates are very close to the 2004.5+ spring rates, and it only lowers .6 inches. Any reason I should take them off the car and put the factory rear springs back on? Or is it ok to leave them on?
