Front spring isolation pads

Well, after much blood sweat and tears I installed one side of the front suspension. Now I can't find the other isolation pad! Will the ride height be all that bad if I put a new one in and keep the old one in the other side? I am sure it will crush down like these were when I took them out but I don't know how long it will take. I know I probalbly should change the one that is already in there but... I don't wanna!!

leaving the isolators out will make things a bit noisier.
High frequency vibration will pass to the K-member
without damping.

For incentive... (not a flame)
The reason you do things yourself is to do things "right".
"one in one lost" you might as well have pep boys do it
scratch the paint, fail to index the springs, tighten
one a arm in the air, the other on the ground and you
have "f*** up" written all over the car
