Clean your throttle body and MAF (with MAF cleaner) throughly, disconnect the neg battery cable for about 5 minutes. Reconnect, start the car. let it warm up and drive it to reset the throttle/drive by wire. May help.
If it's not driveability issues, maybe your driveshaft/u-joints (if its clunking) or UCA/LCA issues...could be many things...

Did they remap the throttle or change the throttle delay in your tune?
It's an easy adjustment for a tuning shop to produce "snappier" throttle response. A re-map can make the throttle open faster at smaller openings, and shortening the delay will make it more responsive to sudden movements. "Enhancing" both settings will result in the kind of sensitivity issue you're describing.
Let's be clear though - it's not a "defect" - it's a side-effect, and as Norm said, just warm it up a little and it's problem solved.

Now the question is, what to upgrade, rotors perhaps, got bonus money burning a hole in my pocket.

Well, I'm just glad I could help and keep you from buying something you may not have needed. 
Business wise I prefer to sell parts, but personally I want to sell the correct parts--and if that costs me short-term--so be it.
If you want to get other things with the bonus money, well...
If you want to give me a ring we could talk options if you like.
