Look up Strong Arm C4726, they fit the nova and fx16 i believe, and are maybe 1/4" longer than ours. comes with all the hardware, bolts right up.

Strongarm 4702's were the RockAuto suggestion and others here mentioned them sometimes fitting. They were too long for me by 1/2" or so.

I purchased these and it was an exact fit, perfect lift force. Although my trunk doesnt pop via cable.

Likely "A3607" is the hatch strut PN, and "PM1221SS" probably the M6-ish ball mounting screws from LiftSupportsDepot.com
In case the link ever goes down.

Sorry for the ultra late reply, took a year to get my account activated. Posting to hopefully help the next guy prevent a headache.
