Ok i havent gotten a chance to drive the car yet its still on jack stands, but the thing is that i have a abs car and i am worried that now that i have gone 5 lug(no abs sensors now) how will this affect the braking system in the car. Both hard lines go from the bc to the abs module, then to the brakes. will i need to swap out the hard lines to regular non abs ones??? anyone have issues with this before. and please no ideas i need people who have done this!!!!

If you used non ABS hubs you simply won't have ABS anymore. The sensor has to see a signal, without it the system will go into failsafe mode and not function. The brakes will still work just as they would without ABS. If you're removing the ABS, do a search, we've discussed it numerous times what's required.
