Question Bilstein Bushings???

Does the Bilstein Suspension have poly bushings or does it have the stock rubber bushings......didn't know if the pkg. was just shocks and springs or if it included bushings as well......i'm curious because the *** end of my car squeaks like CRAZY going over bumps etc. and it is bugging me

"Bilstein shocks, stiffer rate springs/bushings, and a larger front sway bar make up the optional Level-II suspension."

Haven't found anything that says whether by 'stiffer' they actually mean poly or not, though.
