Here is the drawing from the Rule book.
Now, the sill bar question is answered. Although they are in the drawing, The text says they are not required.
The next one is the two diagonal bars, identified with the "D", I see those as being required if the cage is welded to plates (ie unibody cars). So, its interesting that some cages that don't have these get certified...

As of the 07 book I had, sill bars were NOT required for unibody cars with unmodified floor pans. Dunno where this thought that they are needed with swingouts came from

Even funnier is that our cars actually have NO subframe in the traditional sence of the word. A subframe is technically removable... When I talked to the tech guy he said that they were required, but for our cars, the only way to do it was with plates to the tunnel area.

Hey as long as you are willing to gamble your life on it every thing is fine 
Yes My cage was built in exesse(sp) of the rules on purpose. I also talked to Div 6 tech to make sure all was well and good for things coming up.
My life is worth more then the bare minimum to me so I made sure my cage was to

I am in no way dispariging your cage at all. It looks very nice and very strong and much better then the one I installed in my car
