Could someone please make a mod that completely removes trade lanes from the game? The only single defect of this game is the FPS spike when entering and leaving the range of trade lanes. My friends and I would greatly appreciate it!

Err ... never had that problem!
Have you tried changing / deactivating the effects for the trade lanes?
Ask for it in another section of the forum that isn't to do with Discovery modding.
Just don't use the lanes and increase cruise speed to 3000 or whatever.
Removing the lanes means you won't be able to get around very fast and will break a lot of NPC patrols, probably crashing your game.
So unless you want to spend a few dozen hours re-doing all the NPC patrols, including their lovely bugs, just don't use the lanes.

There is a Mod out there that does away with the TL's, I'm pretty sure it's the Star Wars one, can't remember the name of it right now.
The only problem is, I mean it's only going to be a problem if you aren't into Star Wars, all of the ships will be from Star Wars.

My friends and I play with Discovery mod and speed mod with cruise set to 1200. The trade lanes cause huge FPS spikes, I don't know how to disable their effects

Go to your Freelancer\DATA\FX\MISC directory and search for "gf_tlr_XXX.ale" and "gf_tradelane_XXX.ale". Either rename each of the 13 files to end like "gf_tlr_XXX FL.ale" (which makes it obvious for you that it is intended for Freelancer, and at the same time Freelancer has no access to that file cause it looks for the original name) OR move the 13 files out of this directory.
If there's still trouble with that: there's a 14th file called "gf_whiteflash.ale", it seems to have something to do with the tradelanes on a quick glance.

That's strange, maybe you could instead figure out why it happens. I daresay most people here do not have the same problem. Could something be wrong with your hardware or drivers?
