spring code from VIN?

Ok, so i managed to locate a set of front springs thru a want ad i posted on CL and i'm pretty excited. The owner said that he checked with the dealer and that using the VIN, they were able to determine that the springs were V-code. Is this possible? I know that there's no way to decode via the stamped numbers/letters on the spring. I just want to be able to rule out any type of misidentification or anything before i make an offer on these "v-codes".

Good info, thanks. I'll be calling the dealer with the guy's VIN, just to confirm.
