Using tags on the products page

I have a question about the products page navigation. At this moment it is sorted in the tabs f.e. vendor, kit, performance etc. When you open the vendors tab there is categorization by the vendors name or by the kits name. Some vendors could have the same kit name or the same performance.

Now I would like to change it to the tagging navigation. I would like to include all of the tags above the products list or on the side to toggle the products with that particular tag, because users might not know the names of all kits or vendors or about performance to search for.

What do you suggest in this case, actually do you think that tagging is good for this kind of navigating?
