Wow have you ever misunderstood squeenabob. Armour encumberance is due to worn armour, as in it's on your body. Implants are
inside your body so don't count towards encumberance. I've quoted the rules below, and added in the relevant unspoken information.

Too much armor, however, can slow a character down. If either of a character’s armor ratings (without cumulative modifiers due to implants) exceeds his Body x 2, apply a –1 modifier to Agility and Reaction for every 2 points (or fraction thereof ) that his Body x 2 is exceeded. Note that this may affect Initiative as well. If a character is wearing multiple armor items, add their ratings together before comparing to Body.
