Question Dents on the roof of my car. Bodyshop claims its frame damage???

I found recently discovered 3 dents on my roof, all of them are in the corners of my sunroof (3 of the corners, the forth is ok). I thought someone tried to break into my car and went to two bodyshops for an estimate. First shop quoted me at least 900, he said that it was frame damage and asked me if i had been in a mayor accident. I have never been in an accident and im the original owner of the car. So first one sounded kinda shady and I went to another one for a second opinion. They told me that they have seen that before in civics and that it happens when you get a stiffer aftermarket suspension and bottom out with the car or hit a big bump??? Im riding on Tein Basics.
Im really confused, can riding on a stiffer suspension do damage to the roof of my car? Can anyone help me? Did this ever happen to you?

Oh, that sucks. Have you ever bottomed out real hard or hit any bumps real hard after you were lowered? In my experience working in a body shop, I believe it's possible. Seems like you'd have to hit something pretty hard to cause damage like that though.
