If by "pillows", you mean turn the rotors, rebuild the calipers and replace the pads... yep, you got it!

How the hell did he get "rotors" from "pillows"? Where can I get one of these decoder rings?

On second thought, it sounds like one cylinder is missing at idle. Replace the plugs, wires, air filter, fuel filter, PCV valve and any other tune up related part you can think of. If that doesn't do it, take it to the shop to figure it out. Best price for all that stuff will be found at AutoZone. You're supposed to tune it every 40,000 miles anyway, so it's probably past due. BTW, buy decent wires!
