Is there anywhere else to get this part? I would like to reduce some of the "floaty" feel on the hwy.

imo, if you have a modified suspension setup on aftermarket rims, there are no questions to ask, just spend the 30bucks to get it and you'll see

its only 30bucks guys, we drop WAYYY more on other less useful items for our cars (looks only stuff), this is CHEEP guys

So is it $23 for the entire kit vs $31 to buy it individually?

[EDIT] Based on the retail prices, it seems like it:
40.02 for the kit vs. 37.74 + 1.14*2 (2.28) for the pieces.

What "kit" are you talking about? The steering damper is just one piece

The one from the first post. The Damper + 2xScrews for $23 + shipping. A lot cheaper than buying the pieces individually.

^Oh, ok I see what you mean... I didnt count the screws as "pieces"

... I just count it as the hardware that comes with the damper to secure it And why would they sell a damper with no screws?.... doesnt really make much sense... You need the screws to hold it in place lol
