The forks came back in better shape than they came in from the factory.

@bobble
Pretty much any fork once it's been to a tuners will be better than from the factory, they're remove the excess grease that blocks the transfer port and probably use a better quality and/or more appropriate oil for our climate. Rockshox oil is 0/30w, TF is 20w the difference is night and day. On Fox the difference isn't so stark, but bear in mind that they generally use 2 different oils because, the dampers have a form of open bath in Grip 1 & 2. I think TF use Motorex Supergliss as a general oil.

Having the forks/shock tuned for your weight also helps.

Shock should really be tuned regardless as pretty much each frame design has its particular variance in the shape of it's stroke.

The fork if you're particularly heavy or light, but less important than the shock. For what it's worth you might as well get it done when you get the damper serviced.
