Seat belt reuse

Hey guys are our S4 seatbelts reusable after a major collission? I crashed at around 45-55 mph in my car and a friend of mine needs some belts but I don't want his safety compromised.

No it is not. The webbing strechs in the collison. One use only.

Also, consider the age of the belt. And it has been in an accident.

That thing is trash.

It's not just the web that's stressed, it's the inertia reel latch.

aww, you don't want my safety compromised? gimme a big hug you nice little mexican man.
i'm the one who needs the belts. the miata belt doesn't retract right due to the way its angled. my belts were lost in shipping, so i'm trying to locate a set of manual belts. i'm pretty open on color (black, gray, blue) as long as they're manual. maybe i'll go post in the for sale/wanted section. thanks for trying santiago. at least the lsd rear made it okay. though i need to find a quick and easy way to get rid of the rust.
