It looks to me like you’re trying to achieve a filtering mechanism, is that right? – by which users can see a list of products which match the set of criteria they give in the drop-downs.
If that is the case, and although I haven’t any experience of doing this precise thing myself, a plugin I use for achieving similar outputs is Views by Toolset.
This provides the ability to do drop-downs, and user-driven parametric search.
You can learn more about it here
I use this, and their custom fields/post type generator on all my sites now for added flexibility and ease. Their support is top rate too.
Hope this helps.
