It’s the top. Photos provide proof, And it makes no sense to make an aftermarket replacement that doesn’t replicate OE.

Sorry to thread jack but I'm wondering if the mounts for the shocks/struts remained the same throughout production.
Will suspension designed for a '16 fit an 18 without modification?
thanks
Yes, while there is a new part number for the shock/struts themselves as they got a little softer for '17+, you scan always cross reference off Tasca to make sure, but the overall design for the whole car remained the same.

I looked this up on the Tasca Parts site, and you are correct, it does show a new part number for the shocks, actually starting from 2/16/16, which I assume references the build date.

When buying aftermarket parts for the st many times 2014 through 2016 are listed or 2014 through 2017.
2018 and 2019 are either dropped inadvertantly or deliberately. Why is this
For one set of coilovers they listed every year up to 2019 but left out 2018. Don't know what's going on.

Based on your images, the 2014 shows a red-line point of 6,750 while the later revision shows ~6,500.
Personally never paid much attention to red-line. Like most (stock) vehicles it runs out of steam well before getting there anyway.

My printed 2019 manual matches the online manual: 8.5 qts rad. Here are some pics for the curious....it includes spring rate.
