Well, your original post seems to suggest that you're allowing TL 9 as well as TL 8 armor. So, just could define the Advanced Body Armor as being low-to-midrange TL 9 body armor, rather than the best TL 8. There's absolutely stuff that will punch through it, even at TL 8, so I don't think it's too game-breaking to allow it. They'll be hard to hit with pistol bullets, sure, but they should still worry about big rifles, especially with armor-piercing rounds. And at TL 9, with the right ammunition, even large pistols can be a threat - someone with a TL 9 magnum pistol (4d+1 pi++ damage) loaded with APEP ammo (armor divisor 3) will, on average, get about 3.35 points of damage through, which is then multiplied for pi+ damage type. That will put some pain in most people's day.
