Have a 99 GT with what I belive to be frame damage. The car sat low on the driver side rear, nowhere else. Thought it may be a sagging Eibach spring that the previous owner had put in, but after putting stock springs back in rear, still leans to the left. This leads me to believe that the frame is actually damaged and the car is twisted. I bought the car knowing it was hit, so Im not worried about that, but has anyone had a similar experience and can it be fixed?

See if you can get it into a good body shop that has a fixture the car can be mounted on. They'll have a diagram showing dimensions on the car that can be checked. If there's serious damage they'll be able to pinpoint it and let you know if it can be fixed.

How are the panel gaps? How does it drive? Have you crawled under it to eyeball the control arm and spring mount on the unit body? Sure the LCA isn't bent or tweaked somehow?

I myself would be most concerned about the torque boxes. When my sister ripped the boxes on her 00, the car sat a bit crooked in the back. If they are fine, then make sure your spring pigtails are all facing the right direction, and that you have your isolators in correctly.
