I was curious if there was a site to look up vehicle manufacturer specification on a vehicle by its VIN?

For example, I'm interested in buy some new rotors and calipers but I want to find the exact measurements before doing so (i.e. - what are the sizes of bolts in the front rotors, rear, etc.). And not that I don't trust information from third party websites to have this information but I want to make sure everything fits when I take everything out.

For my specific case, I have my 2007 Subaru Impreza 2.5i but I can't find any information on the braking system in the owner's manual.

Also, I tried searching on sites like the ones below but they don't contain the specific information that I want.

Let me know, thanks.

A VIN number is a sequence of 17 number and letters that when decoded provide quite a bit of information about a vehicle. When read from left to right.

WMI( World Manufacturer Identifier) is contained in the first 3 digits.

Position 1: What continent your vehicle was made on.

Position 2: What country

Position 3: What type of vehicle,

VDS(Vehicle descriptor Section):

Positions 4 through 7: model info, body type, engine type which is vehicle specific.

Position 9: Is a check digit for verication of VIN #- no vehicle info

VIS(Vehicle identifier section)

Position 10: vehicle year info

Position 11 through 17: Plant #, extra options , manufacture sequential number etc which varies from manufacturer to manufacturer.

For vehicle specific information check their websites or talk to the parts department guy at a dealer- the information would probably be on his computer.
