Ok if a lvl 17 ftr has spring attack and say wants to attack someone then move 20ft then disarm a few more people within reach can he do so with feats like spring attack and imp disarm? I thought I remember seeing somewhere that you can only attack once with spring attack but can still use your remaining attacks from your bab to do cmb stuff. If so is it always at the highest bab or does it go down because you are using your lower attacks to do them? I hope this makes sense and thanks so much for any input.

No. Spring attack is a standard action that allows you to move both before and after the (single) attack. In order to have a full attack action in a round, all you can move is a free 5 foot step. You could use that attack to disarm if you wanted, but that would be the only attack action you'd get that round. What you're talking about would take you two rounds to do. Round #1: Move, attack an enemy, and then continue moving to more enemies. Round #2: Use a full attack action to disarm multiple opponents.
Thank you but just so im clear disarming multiple enemies I can reach if I have 4 attacks per bab 17 can I do it 4 times in 1 round as long as I can reach them and if so is it always at my highest bab? lets just say my best cmb for disarm is +26 , can I disarm 4 different guys within a 5ft step at +26cmb in 1 round? Thanks so much

How CMB (and CMD) is calculated includes your BAB. This does not mean you get to make additional combat maneuvers using only your best BAB. If you did, then the +6/+1 progression of BAB would be what determines the number of combat maneuvers you make in a round. This is a cake and eat it too situation.
Lets use an example. 15th level human fighter with 20 strength, in a bar brawl, only using his non-magical non-masterwork boot knife he doesn't have any feats for (just to make the math easy). BAB of 15/10/5, plus 5 Strength, gives us attack progression of 20/15/10. Since he has no size modifier or anything specific to CMB, his CMB progression is the same, 20/15/10. These are only some of the various combinations he can try in the space of a round:

perfect thank you so much.
I have made a high level character for a very old campaign that we are introducing to pathfinder and using pure pathfinder books no 3.5 and basicly tried to make a moderate dmg great tactician and think i may have pulled it off. Thanks for your help guys i really appreciate it.
