So im looking to get back into modern but i need some ideas for any equipment that is relatively cheap in cmc. for instance things that cost 4 or less.

Loxodon Warhammer, Sword of Light and Shadow, Sword of Feast and Famine, Sword of Fire and Ice, Lightning Greaves, Whispersilk Cloak, and many many others lol

My EDH deck runs many of those that might interest you:
Voltron-with-a-Senior-Edificer (Sram Equipment)
I am using custom categories, so look under 'Voltron Support'.

Here's a list of CMC 4-or-less Equipment sorted by rating, from MTG Assist.

just go to the "gatherer", and do a search of any modern legal equipment that cost 4 or less.

Stoneforge Mystic makes all of your equipment cmc=2.

Gidgetimer: Not in modern she doesn't :P
I mean, it depends what the creature you're looking to equip is, but Sword of Light and Shadow and Sword of Fire and Ice have both the most relevant abilities and the best protection from colours.
Some Gifts Ungiven lists will run Batterskull but in that case it's being treated as a creature slot rather than an equipment. That and it is greater than 4 CMC.
And if you have a high artifact count (read, affinity), then Cranial Plating isn't half bad either.

thank you for all of these suggestions. after a good 5 months or so away from mtg need to take time to refresh myself so this is a good start to get back in.

The swords, batterskull is allright, and cranial plating. Equipment arent very popular in modern.

enpc: with the re-emergence of jund, i'd say Sword of Feast and Famine is probably the best one as far as protection from colors.

Sarkhan420: That's fair. My comment was more focused on targeted removal since Sword of Light and Shadow stops an Abrupt Decay/Fatal Push as well as Sword of Feast and Famine but also stops stuff like Path to Exile.

Lightning Greaves. Most of the 3 cmc swords (Sword of Feast and Famine etc)
