no. A cage is much stiffer bracing than sfc provides.

I guess it couldn't hurt but I don't think you would see any noticeable benefit compared to the cage.

YES subframes should always be installed..
especially if a roll bar or cage is installed you should have support along the rails and connecting the front to the rear..

I have SLP weld ins and they made a noticeable difference in the feel, handling etc of the car.
