Here is a list of the armors you can buy in the game that will go towards this achievement. I compiled this from the Mass Effect Wiki pages to find out which ones were best for my style.
***EDIT: You should get plenty of credits just playing normally through the game, but if you don't want to lose any credits, you can make a save before you buy them, then reload your save after the achievement pops and be as you were before it. ***
- Terminus Armor: Batarian Citadel Store. stats - 30% Shield Boost, 15% Ammo Capacity, 15% Melee Damage.
- Blood Dragon Armor: Hanar Citadel Store. stats - 20% Shield Boost, 30% Power Damage, 10% Recharge Speed.
- Collector Armor: Asari Citadel Store. stats - 20% Health Boost, 20% Shield Boost, 20% Shield Regen Time.
Cerberus Armor: Volus Citadel Store. stats - 20% Health Boost, 10%Shield Boost, 20% Weapon Damage, 10% Ammo Capacity.
Inferno Armor - Human Citadel Store. stats - 30% Power Damage, 30% Recharge Speed.
All armor is 50,000 Credits at the corresponding stores. They are 55,000 credits on the Normandy.

Will buying them/researching them in ME2 and then importing pop it?

i dont believe so. they recently updated the game to limit how much credits you can take from each game. i never personally never tried to do that, because i knew the games well already so i just waited till i had enough credits to buy two at once, then reload the save before i did that so i never actually spent anything on them. The only thing to my knowledge that actually ports between the two games are your experience points and credits (and choices of course).

Be warned some of these armor sets do not count. These include the Ajax armor we are given, the N7 Defender set, and the Reckoner Knight set.
Other sets from the Citadel stores like the Terminus and Collector set should count no issue.

Appreciate this. Was wondering why it didn’t pop, I purchased the Knight Armor.
