Well, enchanted full-plate sounds good does it not?
The Dungeon Masters Guide have special materials that you can make your fullplate out of too

If that is not enough, Races Of Stone include such armour as Heavy Plate, Battle Plate and Mountain Plate, most weigh around 100lb + so encumbrance might be a issue

alright lol looks like ill be getting some more books, but would the knights armor mastery ability negate the weight of the armor?

No, just the speed penalty on the armour itself, if you become encumbered those penalties igrone the knight ability. (the mountain plate negates the dwarf and knight speed ability, and drops even a dwarwen knight down a in speed :P)
