Yes they are poly...

please note sarcasm...

Maybe you should call him Bill Reilly at RMS on monday and ask.

You got three answers of aluminum from people that have seen and installed more than three sets... so they miust be poly!

Here's a direct quote from the instructions...
---------------------------------------------
Install solid bushing kit into k-frame. Be sure the clevis - rod-end attaching bolt is tightened prior to installation. Leave bushing nut loose enough that the assembly can be rotated slightly in the K-frame for alignment afterward.
---------------------------------------------

I don't see anything mentioning poly on his site in the sales section. Maybe you are assuming the bushings on the strut rods in the picture are poly?

the aluminum bushings are black so you might think they are rubber.
