Landing a Boeing 757

Hello All,

I had a conversation with someone about landing a 757 and they said that it is fairly common practice to land with the left wing a little low. The reason stated is that in the left main landing gear there is a switch which actuates the spoilers, so encouraging the left MLG to contact first helps stabalise the aircraft as the braking begins.
Can anyone tell me if this is a recommended technique (official or unofficial!) or a complete load of garbage.
Many thanks.
